Back in 1990, in the unassuming beach community of Encinitas, California, a band emerged that would define the emerging West Coast powerviolence movement: CROSSED OUT. Surrounded by a quagmire of overbearing military bases, clueless surf culture, suburban decay, and a local music scene that was embracing the pathetic whimper of pop punk, CROSSED OUT turned the tables and unleashed a wall of sound built on violent contradiction: Schizophrenic stops and starts, hyperspeed bursts juxtaposed by crushing, thick as molasses sludge riffs. Unexpected, uncompromising, unstoppable.
CROSSED OUT left a gargantuan footprint on extreme music despite producing one of the underground’s most painfully sparse discographies: One full 7″ EP, one split 7″, one split 5″, and a handful of compilation appearances. For decades, these caveman classics became coveted trophies for extreme music collectors, rare artifacts from a band whose influence far exceeded its recorded output.
Now, after decades out of print, Tankcrimes has made the impossible possible: The complete CROSSED OUT discography is back to trample converts and non-believers alike.
At 47 tracks, this treasure trove collects all officially released output plus a generous dose of unreleased studio gems and live material. A musical wall of death, unearthed once again and primed to bulldoze on impact. This is more than just your run of the mill reissue. This is a definitive document of a foundational force in the birth of first wave power violence.
