"Ah. What a great comeback." - Jeff Munger, The Alternate Root

"The 2021 resurrection of the Cruzados by original bassist and co-writer Tony Marsico was already a surprise – how many people even remembered the mid-eighties successor to the Plugz, let alone with fondness? The bigger shock was the She’s Automatic, the new album featuring Little Caesar, Dogs and Slamdinistas guitarist Loren Molinare and Caesar singer Ron Young in place of departed co-founder Tito Larriva, was a damn good slice of rootsy, slightly sleazy rock & roll. So the release of Land of the Endless Sun can and should be greeted with smiles rather than bewilderment. It’s a good old-fashioned rock & roll time." - Michael "Denim" Toland, The Big Takeover

The unmistakable sound of southern California rock & roll is alive and blazing bright with the Cruzados 'Land Of The Rising Sun'. Scorching hot electric slide guitars scream down the tracks as the rhythm section chuggs along like the thumping pistons of a runaway train. Gritty, bluesy, wailing vocals pilot this locomotive with great conviction, proving that the Cruzados allegiance to the rock & roll flag has never wavered. Viva the Cruzados!

For fans of The Blasters, Los Lobos, Del-Lords, Jason and The Scorchers, True Believers, and Rock and Roll! Cruzados are excited to release their long awaited and much anticipated fourth album, a collection of 14 swaggering west coast rock n roll scorchers, compiled together for this "Deluxe Edition" featuring brand new material and live tracks recorded and performed by Cruzados current line up!! The new album promises to deliver the bands signature rock and roll sound and spirit that first put Cruzados on the map some 30 years ago. The bands new lineup features Cruzados cofounder bassist/songwriter Tony Marsico, vocalist Ron Young (Little Caesar), guitarist Loren Molinare (The Dogs), guitarist Mark Tremalgia and drummer Rob Klonel. The album includes guest performances by Dave Alvin, Steve Berlin, Janelle Frese, David Hidalgo, Buck Johnson, Melanie Vammen, and Bruce Witkin.
