Those Animals

Southern California based indie-alternative rock band, Those Animals, deliver sweet, melancholy melodies that are sure to dig into your ear. Akin to the subtle surf rock vibes of Real Estate, the jangly guitar tones of Mac DeMarco and the psychedelic power of Tame Impala, Mark Cross started the project in 2020 as a means to express his unique form of songwriting. The singer/songwriter turned producer says he wants “to write catchy hooks that make a listener keep a song on repeat and evoke emotion”. Though he pulls themes from pop music, he strays from a formulaic approach to better serve the natural flow of his ideas. Cross has written popular songs that have aired on 95.5, KLOS, and has toured with bands that have opened for Barns Courtney and HUNNY.
"Fresh guitar riffs, mellow lead vocals, an easy groove and pure indie vibes. Those Animals is a talented solo artist from the United States." - Indie Tapes
