crossingpoint are four guys from Durban, South Africa who play positive, progressive hardcore music. Founded by brothers Wesley (vocals, sampler/keyboards) and Brandon Van Eeden (guitar) in 1998, their sound has developed with numerous member changes and responses to what we see in the scene around us. Joined by Ross Turpin(bass) and Ricky de Beer(drums), we're a tight group of friends who play a passionate and often brutal synthesis of metal, hxc and electronics with a positive, relevant message.

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.
