Crimson Riot “Cross The Line” On New Single & Video

Las Vegas’ Crimson Riot are set to release their third full-length, Third Time’s A Charm, on March 20th via Leg Lamp Records, the trio have also released the album’s lead single and video, Cross The Line. Third Time’s A Charm finds Crimson Riot digging deeper than ever before with blistering, confrontational punk and lighter, more reflective moments, from the heavy, fast-paced Cross The Line, which takes aim at fair-weather friends and industry gatekeepers, to the poppier Mold Age, a meditation on aging and holding onto youthfulness. The record also features Here’s To You, with guest appearances from members of Buck-O-Nine and Lo(u)ser, an anthem dedicated to the fans and supporters who stood by the band during the COVID era.

“‘Third Time’s A Charm’ is our appropriately named third album and the title is kind of an ode to our efforts to make this what it is, which is probably some of our best work. We really dug into the recording process of this record and researched how best to achieve the sound we wanted. We were looking for that big, fill-your-entire-speaker sound without going too over the top. I think we definitely got it. This is the album that stands out. Third time’s a charm! Our first single ‘Cross The Line’ is an emotional spillover of years of being in the entertainment industry. Trusting people you shouldn’t; taking advice from someone that pretends they have all the answers just to leave you in the dust… This song is what comes out when you’re tired of doing most of the backscratching and the favor is rarely returned. This is my ‘I made my own table’ moment.“ (guitarist & vocalist Roxy Gunn)
