The High Stride 3 song 7-inch e.p.
Smashing debut release from this NY based mod/soul outfit. Composed of former members from bands like 45 Adapters, The Brimstones, Weekend Bowlers, Sweet Diesel, and Guns Don't Run, The High Stride are too soul for oi!, too rockin' for R&B! Boss sounds from a record that packs a mean 60s-beat punch! If you long for the days of early Dexy's Midnight Runners and The Bureau buy this record! A-SideSomething to ExplainThe Spoil

Himnos/LA Cruz split
12-inch
10 blistering songs from Mexico's Himnos and Spain's La Cruz. Divided by an ocean, united by the knack for playing hard-hitting street rock 'n' roll at its rough and ready finest! Incredibly, Himnos belts-out a brilliant cover of "Condemned" by the long forgotten and obscure Scottish oi! band, On Parole while La Cruz's anthem "Punks Y Skins" is sure to become an instant classic. Both bands shared tracks on Crossbar Record's debut release Oi! The Antidote and we are proud to add this blinder to our growing catalog. Himnos Side:Un Trago MásOriente419DogmaCondemned

Crown Court/The Enforcers split 7-inch
A-Side
Crown Court “Rich Boy”
AA-Side:
The Enforcers “Collision Course”
Buyer beware. Time is ticking. The final countdown upon us. This record will quickly vanish. It's simply too heavy hitting to hang around waiting for you to make your move. Don't mess about. Two knuckle bruising tracks from Crown Court and The Enforcers! You'll feel pinned against the ropes when Crown Court's "Rich Boy" opens your ears with a barrage of precise step jabs thrown to the head while The Enforcers' "Collision Course" delivers its powerful cross straight down the middle. Total knockout in the opening round! Packaged in a rough and ready sleeve. Get down to brass tacks.

Dinos Boys “Holy War” 7-inch
A Side Holy WarB SideDon't Mind (The Raydios) To celebrate Crossbar Records' 10th release we opted to do something a little different: jackets for the Dinos Boys latest release will be silk-screened in a variety of different colors. A record this tough, this angry, this snotty deserves an equally gritty visual. Two fingers in the air, kick to the balls '77 angst-fueled punk rock at its best! Think Slaughter and the Dogs meet Milk 'n' Cookies if such a thing could exist in today's world! Rah! Rah! Give'm Holy War! And...who the fuck are The Raydios!?! We didn't know.

Bullshit Detector & Liberty and Justice 7-inch e.p.
A Side Rat TailNumber (Seger)B SideStill HereLive Fast Die Young (Morris-Hetson) What strikes fear into the heart of Danny Trejo’s Machete? Only one thing: the tag-team of Texas’s Bullshit Detector & Liberty and Justice! This new 7-inch e.p. on Crossbar Records is razor sharp with four deep cuts. Side A flings with Bullshit Detector’s new original track, “Rat Tail,” followed by a brilliant cover of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (yes, you read correctly) workaday week anthem from 1978, “Feel Like A Number.” Not to be out done by their San Antonio brothers, Houston’s Liberty and Justice strikes hot with their excellent, “Still Here," opening Side B. Partnering with Fat Tony, Liberty and Justice unsheathe a wicked cover of the Circle Jerk’s “Live Fast Die Young” to deliver the e.p.’s final blow. Strictly limited!
