Crossfade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the sound effect also called crossfade, see crossfading.

Crossfade is a post-grunge/hard rock band from Columbia, South Carolina. The group was formed in 1999 with singer and guitarist Ed Sloan, bassist and backup singer Mitch James, and drummer Brian Geiger as the power trio The Nothing. The band changed its name to Crossfade in 2002, and later added singer and DJ Tony Byroads. Crossfade attracted the interest of the Los Angeles A&R company Taxi, which ultimately led to the signing of a record deal with the Earshot division of Columbia Records. They released their first album on April 13, 2004.

As of Spring 2005, the group is now a three-piece due to the departure of Tony Byroads. Crossfade's latest album, Falling Away, was released on August 29, 2006 on Columbia Records.
