Album Title: The Return Of The Kings
Album Release Date: August 26, 2022

The singles/music videos, the upcoming new album, and future live show are just the latest developments in what has already been a busy 2022 for SANTA CRUZ. The band’s metallic-fueled cover of One Direction’s “Drag Me Down” was recently featured prominently in the hit HBO MAX/DC Universe series “Peacemaker,” and the group also now has new merchandise available through Rebellion Republic at https://rebellionrepublic.com/?s=santa+cruz.

SANTA CRUZ first appeared on their native Finnish hard rock scene in 2007. Impressive demos and EP’s full of catchy hard-rock anthems resulted in the band signing to Spinefarm Records, who released the group’s first full-length record, “Screaming For Adrenaline,” in 2013. A series of European festival appearances and live performances alongside acts such as AC/DC, Skid Row, Buckcherry, and Kobra And The Lotus was soon followed by the release of 2015’s self-titled effort. The group refined their rock ‘n roll bonafides and continued to build their following with a workhorse-level of touring, sharing stages during that time period with Sebastian Bach, I Prevail and Amaranthe, as well as appearances at Rock On The Range festival and the Motorboat cruise.

SANTA CRUZ signed with M-Theory Audio in 2017. The group’s new home label subsequently released “Bad Blood Rising” that year, and their 2019’s follow-up, “Katharsis”. The band returned to live stages in 2019 with triumphant performances at Aftershock and Louder Than Life, three Finnish music festivals and European support slots to Whitesnake and Bon Jovi, followed by a nationwide U.S. tour supporting Atreyu, Whitechapel, and He Is Legend. SANTA CRUZ frontman Archie Cruz adapted to the challenges of 2020 and 2021 by continuing to work on the music that would become “The Return of the Kings,” and appeared as a contestant on Season 5 of “Survivor Finland.”
