Out Now: Liquid Cross – Don’t Think EP SM076
“This EP is about everything. It sounds like the Pacific Northwest as the band experiences it.”
Liquid Cross is a punk band from Eugene, Oregon, formed in 2025. Starting in a garage with minimal gear the group quickly found a voice in writing fast, abrasive songs with a dark edge. Once their permanent bassist joined, the lineup solidified, and the band began capturing their sound using whatever borrowed equipment was available.
Drawing influence from the Saints and the Wipers, Liquid Cross blends classic punk urgency with a distinctly Pacific Northwest atmosphere. Members bring experience from other projects: Jon (Ball Pythons, Cool Piss), Travis (End Time), and Kelly (Milked, Geronimo!). Their approach is driven by the raw and immediate energy of conviction.
The Don’t Think EP was recorded entirely DIY after the band abandoned plans to use a studio. Final mixing was handled by Ian Norris (The Shield), while the bulk of the work took place in a cluttered garage filled with cables, mics, and a discarded punching bag. The tape includes a hidden track exclusive to the physical release, and all proceeds benefit Trans Lifeline. For the band, the EP captures not only their early urgency but also the sound of their environment—what it feels like to live and play in the Pacific Northwest.

“With a healthy Wipers influence leading the way, these songs skid and cascade with dimly lit melodic distortion, muscle, and perpetual energy, barreling out of the Pacific Northwest garages into a blown out speaker near you.” – Post-Trash
