Prepare yourself for this one. The April 7th edition of Local/Live from Anodyne on Bruce brings a free, all-ages show with The Crosses, hosted by Sid and Matt Wild.Fronted by Daniel Kubinski (Die Kreuzen), The Crosses bridge their hardcore roots with an angular, progressive metallic edge reminiscent of bands like Voivod. Their debut release pairs dissonant, tension-filled guitars with tightly controlled modern hardcore rhythm. The record features a full set of original material alongside a reworked Die Kreuzen track and a Hüsker Dü cover—connecting their forward-looking sound to the Midwestern lineage that shaped them.
The lineup includes guitarist Jim Potter (Dr. Shrinker), bassist Christopher Ortiz (Magnetic Minds / Speed Freaks), and drummer Jesse Sieren (Big Laugh / Revelation Records), delivering a powerful blend of metallic precision and punk urgency.
Originally formed as a way for Kubinski to revisit classic Die Kreuzen material—from the raw intensity of Cows and Beer and the self-titled LP to the darker October File and expansive Century Days—the band quickly evolved into writing original music that reflects the full span of that sonic legacy. The result captures the ferocity of early Die Kreuzen while showcasing Kubinski’s decades of vocal and artistic growth.
Local/Live is presented by Outpost Co-op (“We believe good food brings us together”). Hospitality provided by Transfer Pizzeria Café.
Sound engineered by Nick Elert. Video and broadcast engineering by Kneeverland Productions. Graphics by ERTRÖK DESIGN.
