What Happened To CROSSFADE? 

Crossfade is one of the most underrated rock bands ever. It would be great to see them return.

"Cold" never gets old. I can jam it constantly.

So Far Away is an addicting song for me

Crossfade was a killer band when they first debuted on the radio with Cold, and they still are!

Another factor that plays into Crossfade's absence that wasn't talked about was the lead singer's, Ed Sloan's depression. He talked about it in an interview promoting the band's album "We All Bleed". He spoke on how the sub-par success with their second album really took a tool on him emotionally, resulting in him not wanting to do music for a while. This also explains their darker themes on their 3rd album. It was thanks to his partner Les Hall to pull him up from his slump at got back on their grind. This may also result on why he went the "Christian" route musically. To find peace and serenity. Which is normally the case for new-born Christians. He may have realized that being in the band was not the best place for him. But hopefully he will find a balance and get back to playing kickass music while still having a healthy mindset.

Crossfades first album has ZERO skips. Love these guys 🤟🏾

Man if they get back together this summer and perform the first album in its entirety TAKE MY MONEY

Plot twist. Ed Sloan is actually Chris Pratt and has been in front of us the whole time

My brother went to high school with them, he was even asked to join as a guitarist when they started, but he turned them down. He kicks himself now.

it´s a dream can see all NuMetal Band come back together playing in festivals and doing new stuff.

Crossfades self titled is honestly one of the best albums out there! Especially one of the best debut albums!

We All Bleed was a great album. Shame it didn't do well due to people not knowing about it.

I wanna see Hurt come back. Talk about totally underrated. Sloan is amazing at guitar and singing though

It's a shame that some of the best bands only stay together for a while....... We can only imagine what this amazing band would be like today if they were still together

I remember coming across them a few years ago. Such a great band and wish they still made music now

Some of the coolest dudes I've ever gotten the chance to meet. Saw them twice when their last album (which is amazing) came out, got to hang out both times after the show too. First one was acoustic because their vehicle that had all their gear blew up on the way to the show. Second one was amazing. I was front row, and I got personally handed a pick by Ed after a song, "cause I knew every damn lyric to every song." He remembered me after the show, thanking me for how well I knew their music. That definitely made me feel good lol. Shared a couple jager bombs with them too!

What I really wanna say is I wonder what happened to crossfade

I want alot of my childhood Bands to come back

I remember hearing multiple songs when playing Mx vs. Atv Off-road Fury. 2005. Right after they came out with their best album in 2004.

These guys were huge in the mid-2000’s. It’s crazy how they went down this rabbit hole since then.

The self titled album was a really amazing album. Theres alot of killer tracks that had dark deep lyrical content. Havent stopped listening to it since it came out, never will. Let's get these guys on the road.

The singer is incredible, one of the best rock singers

I saw them live in 2011, the first show of the We All Bleed tour, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They had a good live show, and I really got into that album (We All Bleed). Got to meet the whole band and shake hands with them. Good people. And they can f'n play.

The harmonies were second to none, beatiful compositions, and just as the comments say, the lyrics brought us through tough times growing up. It was strange growing up in the 90s and 2000s. The world changed like no other time before. Here we are many of us in our late 20s and 30s looking back on this group and wondering what the hell happened to music like this. Thank you Crossfade. You made timeless music for us.

All three of their albums are timeless for me. I would love to see them live again.

I wanna see Trust Company come back

Crossfade was my favorite band in my teen years. I'm in my mid 20's now and still think about this band. Hope all the members are doing well and enjoying life doing whatever they wanna do!

hope this video gets to the members of the band after all these years we still got love for y'all

Wow! i'm impressed. as a Crossfade Diehard I was worried. Idky, you guys always do good research! Even though we may never see more crossfade, I hope the masses can grow to appreciate their music more. To me their 3 albums are like 3 chunks of my soul. Ed Sloan is a genius and I just wished he'd believe in that as much as we all do, the true diehards that is. Crossfades music has left a major impact on my life, good, bad or in-between. It'd be greedy to beg for anything more when the art we received was so perfect! All i can hope for is that Ed and the rest of the guys are able to look back on it and say "damn man we had the stank!" and to be proud of the work they have done!

Their self titled album was f*cking awesome.

I got to say, We All Bleed, Starless, and Cold are my all - time favorites from Crossfade.

listened to debut album a million times. My twins were about 6 and knew every word to every song . When I play any song from that album with my kids, we instantly belt out the tunes. Its definitely a musical bond we have with each other and no other band has come close. It will always be one of the very top albums of all time

We All Bleed is CRIMINIALLY underrated. It's easily their best work and I would love to see another album by them.

Hey, I really like these! I liked the "tragic story if xxxx" but it was so dark. This is much more just informative and, imo, enjoyable. I really like how the channel is expanding! Quality work, thank you!

The alcohol, the demerol these things never could replace What a minute with you could do To put a smile on my face...Dam good song, I was a Jr in High school when they released self titled album..

Thanks for making this video Rock Feed! Crossfade has been one my favorites since their beginning! A few years back I had a little back and forth with Les Hall on Twitter and he claimed they had 70% of a 4th album done. They switched gears and he mentioned potential of a Greatest Hits but nothing came about. They all seem to stay pretty quiet on social media. If anyone, Mitch James is most active. One of the few bands I wish I could have seen live.

*In that interview he sounded very depressed and . . kinda drunk but I'm glad he's alright and doing his own thing. But a farewell tour I would be fine with as long as I get to see them together one last time.* 🙏

No Giving Up & Starless were always my favorites. RIP KNW💜

Their self titled debut album was awesome!

I've been throwback listening to their material this year and honestly hope one day we could get at least one more album, or if we're lucky, a tour that includes the EU/UK 🙏 Honestly they're one of the most underrated Alt Metal/Rock bands from the early 2000s era, pretty much all of their emotional themed songs always hit hard for me 🖤

The way I found this band was crazy. Mx vs atv unleashed for the ps2 and cold so happened to be one of the tracks that played. Fell in love with the band ever since and is still my favorite rock band to this day.

They're one of my favorite alternative metal/post grunge bands, ed sloan is great rythme guitar player he plays tricky/scretchy chords and riffs while singing which is something not many frontmen will to do, and i think their last album "we all bleed" is really good, it's Heavier and darker

I just discovered this band and fell in love, unfortunate they're not together anymore

Their first album is a classic. They couldn’t ever repeat what they did and that’s okay. Sometimes things are better left how they are. I would like to see a 20 year anniversary in 2024 with remastered tracks, demos and maybe a few new songs recorded in the same style as that 2004 record. One can dream.

This was an awesome video, Brian! Very well made. Go birds!

That first album from 2004 will always be great

Really enjoyed this! I was around Mitch's family for a long time, even worked with him for a few years. I know he wanted to get it up and going again, it's just they were just busy and the stars never really aligned properly for it to come together. I'm still hoping there's some sort of reunion concert or something in the works, was always a big fan of their music. Third album is highly underrated.

I have been listening to them a lot recently Crazy how you posted this lol

Woah, throwback! I saw them in 2012 at a small festival, they were still tight and sounded awesome, but you could see they weren't happy that most of the crowd only knew "that one song"

You did a great job on this video I miss they're music.

Extremely well made as ever, Brian!

Rock Feed thank you for this. Their song Cold is the most binge worthy nu metal song in history!

I honestly forgot about crossfade and didn’t realize they had 2 albums past their debut

Thanks for this vid

Saw them live, and I think every one of them sang a song. Really impressive

"Cold" Is such a good song! I really hope this band gets back together. I would definitely go see the band perform all the hit songs they've compiled.

his music is so unique. truthful, yet beautiful. some songs his voice sounds different than others. such a gift. its a shame they went dark

The lead singer is a manager at a Bojangles in Lexington NC

Cold & Colors were huge songs for me early in college when I was first getting into rock.

Their debut album is great. I still jam it every once in awhile. It's a classic that every song is good on it

This is the first time I ever heard of this band. I'll go check them out.

Good memories jamming to their 1st record.. I remember keeping it in my cd player for 2 months straight.. I went back and listened to it again a couple months ago. Nostalgia

Spent time in the Marines and this band got me through a lot. Thanks guys

The first album will never get old, it’s just their live performances were sloppy and the famous over night got to them and what was an amazing band just faded away, so much potential guys we all love and miss you!!!

They had a lot of potential after their 3rd album We All Bleed.. the 10 minute closer Make Me a Believer couldn’t been the perfect catalyst for them to have prog influence on their next album. Unfortunately never happened...

Crossfade is and still my favorite alternative bands of all my life

I saw Crossfade in Beaumont, Texas in 05 & talked to them after the show they were cool guys.

Damn, I was litterally thinking about what happen to crossfade on my way to work this morning and here is this video posted 2 days ago. I was thinking how underrated We all bleed is. when i first heard it when it came out i was like eh but as my tastes have changed in the last 10 years i realized damn its sooo good. great video

They’ve updated their Facebook once every few years. They got dropped by their last label and then their studio and gear got caught in a fire. Think they’ve seen some rough times and in general take a while writing their material. Ed did some solo stuff that was pretty good in my opinion but very niche as it was more religion faced music. Still hope they go back out on tour soon at least. Miss them.

Their first album saved my life as a teen. No lie. Really wish they would come back

I'm a family friend of Tony and he had another band called The Undivided, it's an amazing band with only one album so far but all the music on there is absolutly amazing. Tony is an amazing song writer which is my theory about why the albums without him in Crossfade just dropped in quality.

Yes!! This has been my fav rock band for the last year or so. Super under appreciated, especially their last album, we all bleed. Ah! So gooood!!!

Grew up in Columbia, SC, we are all wondering what happen to Crossfade! We miss you guys!

I remember coming across this album at walmart of all places and I bought it when I was 15. I had the OG album when they had two singers on it. Their 1st album was really good for the time. Seems like Ed isnt into writing nu metal anymore, but with nu metal coming back, it may be his time to shine.

*Looking back at me...* always gets me

I've been listening to them since they debuted. WAB is probably my favorite album period- at least for sentimental reasons. I check their FB page every now and then. I'm also friends with Ed on there as well. I'll check to see if he's mentioned anything, but he's pretty reclusive. Les has implied that they've been in the works on something for a while. Considering Les and Ed have known each other since middle school, I'm sure they always have a project brewing in the meantime. Here's hoping to see a new record.

Been asking this question for years lol thank you for finally answering it lol

The crossfade self titled album from 2004 is a masterpiece

Do a what happened to taproot. I love that band and blue sky research is heavily under rated

I still listen to them everyday..there music never gets old..Wish they would come back..🙏👍👏

It’s so tragic. We All Bleed album is still one of the best albums. I keep coming back to it throughout the years.

Thanks for this! I always wondered what happened to them and also non point. I saw both of them perform at the house of blues in Orlando back in like 2004/2005

I met crossfade couple of time while back. Really nice guys.

I love crossfade! And them opening for Shinedown is where i discovered the voice of Brent Smith live and been hooked ever since!

Did anybody notice that the riff that's in the In This Moment song called: "Adrenalize" is the same riff in "Starless" by Crossfade or was I the only one who caught that plagiarism?

That first record was great and I saw them twice and they put on a fantastic live show. Ed is cool.

The Machine Shop @ Flint, MI! What an amazing show they had! Great band Live!

I loved these guys and never new why they stopped putting out music. Interested in finding out why. 👍🏻

So far away is an absolute banger and I still play it till this day

Great band and it definitely was on everyone’s MySpace profile music after a break up

Cross fade, revis, fair to midland.... i can name more.

not all bands need a great send off. Let these guys go quietly on their own terms which seems to be what happened.

Good video. I really wish they would have kept going.

I thought Ed's solo work was really good, and it still bums me out that the solo album itself never materialized. I was excited to see what else he had in store, and hoped that he'd perhaps use some of that momentum to finally get back in the studio with Crossfade and produce at least one more album. In a perfect world, Crossfade would've kept rolling on just like other bands from that era like Chevelle, Three Days Grace, and even Breaking Benjamin.

"Killing me Inside" was a good jam!

Crossfade is my favorite band to listen during intense workouts 🔥 very underrated

Love this band! Would love to see them back!

can say i was lucky enough to see them play in Mt.Pleasant MI a few years ago. They killed it

I still listen to Crossfade all the time

One of my favourite bands lately. ❤🖤
