Crossfade
Band Columbia United States Formed 1999 American post-grunge rock group
Crossfade formed in 1999 in Columbia, United States. Crossfade has 39 chart appearances on 28 radio countdowns from 18 stations on RockLists, spanning 2004–2023. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Cold”, which appears on 20 lists with a best position of #8. The station that charted Crossfade most often is WCCC The Rock (Hartford, CT), with 5 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2005.
Crossfade come from Columbia, South Carolina, and they went through a couple of names, The Nothing and Sugardaddy Superstar, before settling on Crossfade in 2002. The lineup that made the records put Ed Sloan up front on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Les Hall on lead guitar and keyboards, and Mitch James on bass and backing vocals.
The sound is post-grunge with an alternative metal edge: thick, heavy riffs, big hooks, and lyrics that wear their bruises on the outside. "Cold" is the one rock radio remembers, a brooding slow burn that gives way to a chorus built for car stereos, with "Colors" close behind. The self-titled debut of 2004 carried "So Far Away", Falling Away in 2006 stayed the course with "Invincible" and "Drown You Out", and We All Bleed arrived in 2011.
