(MBM) The Cruzados European tour kicks off this Spring, April 27th through May 27th of 2023 with stops in Spain, France, Belgium, and Germany. Also coming this Spring 2023, you can expect an all new 6-song EP entitled "Land of the Endless Sun" produced by Bruce Witkin, as well as a collection of live music recorded in Europe from the band's 2022 tour. "Live from Marseille" is a full-length live album that contains performances of Cruzados band classics and some new tunes from 2022-2023.

"Recording our new 6 song EP "Land of the Endless Sun" brought me back to our early days in the Cruzados. The guitar sounds we got thanks to Loren Molinare and Mark Tremalgia are tough as nails and set the mode for the entire EP. Ron Young belts out even stronger on this collection and the songs cover a wide range of Classic Cruzados styles from the desert sound to 60s garage, all rounded out with a backbeat by drummer Rob Klonel that propels each track". - Tony Marsico co-founder/ bassist -The Cruzados

"This was a fun group of songs to record. It highlights so many of the band's influences that we love to weave into our set. It keeps the Cruzados legacy going. Getting to work with our favorite Producer, Bruce Witkin again was also a blast as he makes us so comfortable all through the tracking that it makes the music flow out of us and he gets great performances from each of us."......Ron Young- Lead Singer/Cruzados

The 2022 Cruzados record "She's Automatic" features 11 songs written or co-written by Tony Marsico, the bassist and co-writer for the Cruzados and a member of the band's punk-era precursor the Plugz. This album was issued on Deko Entertainment January 2022.

If you haven't collected "She's Automatic" yet, hurry while the vinyl supply lasts! This is a live, hot, no-nonsense collection of hard-hitting rockers on which Marsico is joined by the members of his '80s L.A. contemporaries Little Caesar. The set's glittering group of guest musicians includes a host of noted L.A. punk vets, including John Doe (X), Dave Alvin (the Blasters), David Hidalgo and Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), and
Melanie Vannem (the Muffs, the Pandoras).
