Cross My Heart: EP + Temporary Contemporary (Limited Edition CD • Japanese Import)

A limited Japanese import CD bringing together two essential releases by Cross My Heart that stand as classic emo at its finest. This glass-mastered edition collects Cross My Heart’s 1999 self-titled EP and their 2000 album Temporary Contemporary on a single disc, capturing the band at the height of their emotional clarity and intensity.

Across both releases, Cross My Heart exemplify the defining traits of late-’90s emo: raw vulnerability, sharp dynamic shifts, and deeply personal songwriting built on the tension between restraint and release. Led by Ryan Shelkett’s unmistakable vocal presence, these songs move fluidly between quiet introspection and cathartic urgency, embodying the sound and spirit that made the era so enduring.

This collector’s edition is limited to 500 copies worldwide, with 200 available in the U.S., on glass master CD and is packaged in a jewel case with an authentic Obi strip.
