Music Artists Crossfade

By: Mar

Crossfade is a post grunge band originating in Columbia, South Carolina. The group came together in 1999 with the merging of singer/guitarist Ed Sloan with bassist/backup singer Mitch James and drummer Brian Geiger as the power trio The Nothing and then the name was changed to Crossfade in 2002. The group added singer and DJ Tony Byroads from Buffalo, New York. The resulting quartet renamed itself Sugardaddy Superstar. It first gained recognition beyond its region when it attracted the interest of the Los Angeles A&R company Taxi. This ultimately led to the signing of a record deal with the Earshot division of Columbia Records. They released their first album on April 13, 2004.

The group is now a three-piece band as of spring 2005 due to the departure of the DJ/backing vocalist Tony Byroads. He wanted to spend time with his new bride. However, the group will continue touring and start doing work on their second full-length album (Falling Away) which is due out August 29, 2006.
