Outlier contains The Crosses initial foray into crafting our own sound and vision. While playing Die Kreuzens early- and mid-period material it became only natural for us to do what most bands do at rehearsal: jam loosely, warming up and getting ourselves ready to play some very intense songs. During these jams, ideas would be jarred loose and float to the surface. The Crosses have some very creative and talented musicians involved and so it was hard to deny the cool and diverse ideas bubbling up from within each player.

“At that time, I was living in Pico-Union, which is home to the notorious MS13 gang. I would hear gunshots, but luckily, no violence was directed at me. I eventually befriended some neighbors, and it turned out ok. I used the experience to write and had some characters as reformed criminals working to make amends,” shared Maurer. “The debut single and those writings feature tough protagonists, but they eventually find their way,” he said.
