Crossingpoint are four guys from Durban, South Africa who play positive, progressive rock/hardcore. Founded in 1998, their sound has developed with numerous member changes and responses to what they see in the scene around them. Today the band are best described as playing a passionate and often brutal synthesis of metal, rock, and punk with a positive, relevant message.

Evolution is an inevitable factor bands encounter with experience. Though some groups fight it off for fear of losing their safety net,Crossingpoint have embraced theirs with open arms, and the results are beautiful. As South Africa's longest running hardcore band, this evolution didn’t come without their own personal ups and downs. But now, one year after the release of their self released debut album, Crossingpoint are developing their sound into something it's always had the potential to become.

In a world where hardcore music is slowly being embraced by a wider audience, many bands have watered down their message to suit the listener. Where it used to be about an uncompromising message in response to societal problems, these days it seems to mostly be about the sound, with any sort of message being secondary. crossingpoint have stayed true to their roots by playing creative, energy-driven music with a message that demands application.

"It's hard to go to a crossingpoint show and leave unchanged. Whether you're screaming your lungs out with the band or following their lyrics on their lyric sheets handed out before each show, theirs is a power and a passion that few bands achieve."

The world is never going to change over night. Real change happens in the minds and hearts of individuals who can go on to effect others. crossingpoint's urgent and honest message dealing with issues such as sexism, loyalty and personal responsibility, is aimed at reaching the individual in a thoughtful way and helping them to see the world for what it truly is.
