New EP, “The Other Side”
‘The Other Side’ is the follow up EP to the critically acclaimed ‘No Nostalgia’ by MC Roads, the guitar driven Detroit rock and roll brainchild of Mike Cross. This sophomore installment is layered with rich guitar harmonies, mellow vocals, and timeless melodies that leave you begging for more. ‘The Other Side’ completes Mike’s vision intended for a full-length album and closes the book far too soon.
Mike Cross passed away unexpectedly on March 6, 2022.
His legacy lives on through these songs.
As a co-writer for Sponge’s platinum selling album Rotting Piñata, sophomore album Wax Ecstatic and third release New Pop Sunday, Mike Cross helped catapult the band into rock star status with his catchy hooks, iconic crunchy guitar and undeniable original sound.
The band toured extensively, headlining shows in the US and in Europe supporting “A” list artists such as Alice In Chains, KISS and Soundgarden. Mike also appeared on the late night talk show circuit including The Late Show with David Letterman, The 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 created a unique, guitar driven and melodic sound that encapsulates an incredible mix of new and classic style songs.
