Generation Kill

Generation Kill was formed by current Exodus frontman Rob Dukes and Rob Moschetti (ex-Pro-Pain, M.O.D.) The original concept of the band was to break away from the current formula. By embracing their roots and incorporating them into the project Generation Kill is a true crossover band. Each song has its own identity, and mood, which gives the band its original sound without abandoning their influences.

Poison Idea

Poison Idea was formed in 1980 in Portland, OR by vocalist Jerry A. (aka Jerry Lang). The initial lineup consisted of Jerry A., Tom “Pig Champion” Roberts (guitar), Glen Estes (bass), and Dean Johnson (drums). Inspired by Black Flag and other early Southern California hardcore acts, they were further influenced by Discharge and Los Angeles's the Germs.

Adrenicide

Adrenicide is definately one of,and arguably,the only known Crossover band in Britain. Formed in Jan.2003,the core of the band has always comprised: Nuno Evaristo, and Neilson Armstrong, two old school fuck-heads, on a mission to make pure 80's Hardcore/Crossover, just like the bands they grew up listening too. Adrenicide is of course the bastard son of this union. With absolutely no consideration for modern trends,Adrenicide first unleashed their own savage brand of kick-ass Crossover in Jan.2003.
