about

See the Cruzados Live!! May 11th @ The Nile Theatre, Bakersfield CA w/Gilby Clarke: thebakersfieldfox.com/event/gilby-clarke/

"In the mid-eighties punk had morphed into alternative rock. College stations added more sounds to their playlists. One facet was some southwestern sounds like Los Lobos, Rank and File and Cruzados. This Best of collection is a reminder of how the Cruzados was kicking ass back then. All the songs are pushing energy as if to rock was the thing above all. The guitars are a big draw. Their tone cuts like a knife. There’s generous reverb on them so it has surf overtones. This is primo material and it will remind people of their contribution to the southwestern sounds." - Paul Blowfish
