It is also the first (and only) Against Me! album to feature George Rebelo, drummer of Hot Water Music, following the departure of previous drummer Warren Oakes. Recording began in August 2009, finishing two months later. The mixing and mastering of the album finished in February 2010, and it was released June 8.〔 The initial pressing of the record included four bonus tracks.〔(White Crosses: Your Thoughts - Page 23 )〕 On March 17, 2010 their first video from the album, "Rapid Decompression," was released online via AOL.

Club )〕〔(Revolver Profile at Metacritic.com )〕 White Crosses was Against Me!'s best-charting album to that date, peaking at #34 on the ''Billboard'' 200. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「White Crosses (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
