"Fuck Grindcore" later became a bootleg 10-inch of their self-titled record. An August 1993 show with Spazz, Anal Cunt, and Dropdead, titled " Grindcore Night", on a flyer at Gilman St., led to the vocalist's comment "Fuck grindcore". The summer that followed, Dropdead toured the U.S with the release of their split 5", playing two shows with Crossed Out. After the departure of original bassist Rich Hart, Eric Wood - bassist and vocalist of Man is the Bastard - volunteered to play bass he remained with the group until their break up. What I can tell you is that this album is amazing. I haven't heard the original 84' copy so I can't tell you the difference.
I believe this is a re-release of their earlier 1984 version of 'Drop Dead'. By 1993, Crossed Out, along with Man is the Bastard, No Comment and Capitalist Casualties, played 924 Gilman Street's first power violence-only show, the Fiesta Grande. Normally I couldn't give a shit about Powerviolence, but this album has slayed my testicles like no other PV has before. In 1992, the band recorded a live radio show on KSPC, a split 5" with Dropdead, a contribution to Slap-a-ham's Son of Blleeaauurrggh compilation 7-inch, and a split 7-inch with Man is the Bastard. Five months after that recording, in the fall of 1991, their seven song self-titled 7-inch was released, including a firing squad cover photo. In 1991, Spazz bassist and vocalist Chris Dodge, who also ran Slap-a-Ham Records, asked the band to send him a demo. Many bands, such as The Locust, Dropdead, Su19b, Slices, and Iron Lung, have covered songs originally performed by Crossed Out.
History Ĭrossed Out played sixteen shows and released a demo, 7-inch, split 7-inch with Man Is the Bastard, split 5" with Dropdead, and two songs for the Son of Blleeaauurrggh compilation. They have been named as the "dark lords of powerviolence" by Beau Beasley of Insect Warfare. The group is considered to be a very important band that helped define powerviolence with a style that incorporated political lyrics, blast beats, and quick tempos.
The band was active from early 1990 until late 1993. Crossed Out was a powerviolence band from Encinitas, California.
