Hot Cross was a screamo band from Philadelphia on Hope Division/Equal Vision Records. The band was comprised of members from bands such as Saetia (vocalist Billy Werner and drummer Greg Drudy, who was also a founding member and the original drummer of post-punk group Interpol), Off Minor (bassist/guitarist Matt Smith), You and I (guitarist Casey Boland), Neil Perry, The Now and Joshua Fit for Battle (bassist/guitarist Josh Jakubowsky). Their songs are composed of intricate (and in the beginning of their career, dueling) guitars heavily influenced by Drive Like Jehu.
On July 6th, 2007, the band announced via their MySpace that they are ‘indefinitely inactive’.
