MC Roads on The Other Side

The Other Side is the follow up EP to No Nostalgia by MC Roads, the guitar driven Detroit rock and roll brainchild of Mike Cross, who passed away unexpectedly on 6th March 2022.

The Other Side completes Cross’s vision intended for a full-length album and closes the book far too soon. His legacy lives on through these songs, for This sophomore instalment is said to be layered “with rich guitar  harmonies, mellow vocals, and timeless melodies that leave you begging for more.”

As a co-writer for Sponge’s platinum selling album Rotting Piñata, sophomore album Wax Ecstatic and third release New Pop SundayMike Cross helped catapult the band into rock star status with his catchy hooks, iconic crunchy guitar and original sound.
 
The band toured extensively, headlining shows in the US and in Europe supporting A list artists such as Alice In ChainsKISS and Soundgarden. Cross also appeared on the late night talk show circuit including The Late Show with David LettermanThe Conan O’Brien Show and the Jon Stewart Show.
 
 After his departure from the band, due to creative and business differences, he turned away from music business to focus on his personal life. However, he continued to write, record and produce various music projects and develop his own vocal abilities. Through MC Roads, Mike Cross is said to have sought “to create a unique, guitar driven and melodic sound that encapsulates an incredible mix of new and classic style songs.”
