Crossfade

The Profile

Crossfade is an American post‑grunge band from South Carolina. Their self‑titled debut (2004) went platinum in the U.S., powered by the hit “Cold.” After the underperforming Falling Away (2006) and being dropped by Columbia in 2008, frontman Ed Sloan faced addiction and recovery. With guitarist Les Hall on board and drummer changes (Will Hunt out, Mark Castillo in), the band returned with the darker concept album We All Bleed (2011).

American post‑grunge band from South Carolina; debut Crossfade (2004) certified platinum in the U.S.; key tracks include “Cold” and “Colors”; lineup has included Ed Sloan and Les Hall; We All Bleed (2011) is a concept album reflecting Ed Sloan’s personal struggles.

Two reviews chart Crossfade from their melancholic, hooky 2004 debut to the heavier, darker We All Bleed (2011). The first album offers concise post‑grunge with nu‑metal touches and a few standout tracks, while We All Bleed is praised as a cathartic concept album born from Ed Sloan’s turmoil and major lineup shifts. Highlights include Cold, No Giving Up, Killing Me Inside, Suffocate, and the 10‑minute closer Make Me A Believer.
