Crossfade

Holding firmly onto their Southern Carolina roots, post-grunge outfit Crossfade descended onto the scene with their debut self-titled album in 2004. After undergoing multiple name changes (formerly The Nothing and Sugardaddy Superstar) the band settled on Crossfade. Having produced a series of demos, the band caught the attention of FG Records/Earshot, a sub division of Columbia Records and thus signed a record deal. The album having achieved Platinum status catapulted the band into the mainstream charts featuring some of their most prolific tracks such as “Cold”, “So Far Away” and “Colors”. Following the success of the debut album, the band went on to release a further two more albums “Falling Away” and “We All Bleed”.
Taking the laid back approach on stage in terms of appearances, watching Crossfade live is far from laid back. Putting their all into every performance, Ed Sloan’s gravelly and powerful vocals resonates through the crowd as they stare mesmerised through more melodic tracks such as “Lay Me Down” and “Colors” where electrifying guitar riffs take precedence at poignant moments through the song. It’s no surprise that their hit track “Cold” receives the biggest response with the audience singing along word for word whilst swaying from side to side through the intro before throwing their arms back at forth as it progresses into the chorus. Crossfade are definitely one of those bands who command your attention through catchy choruses and heartfelt performances but also you can guarantee that whatever decade it is, their music transcends time and will always be relevant.
