Template:Infobox musical artist 2 Crossingpoint are a South-African based Christian Hardcore band, formed in 1998.
They are widely accepted as being the longest running South-African Hardcore group, and have in turn inspired many more hardcore bands throughout the South-African music scene. Today, they play a breed of heavy metal, rock and punk, combined with a positive message in their lyrics. Vocalist Raymond Douglas sings (or rather screams) songs that deal with sexism, animal cruelty and personal responsibility.
Popularity
Despite not being on a major music label, the band have managed to become popular, not only in South Africa, but also internationally. As of July 2006, Crossingpoint have embarked on an American tour, with shows in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, New York, Philadelphia, Virginia and Georgia.
Crossingpoint have also become (intentionally, or not) standard-bearers for the Straight edge movement in South Africa - All members of the band are straight edge. Furthermore, guitarist Brandon van Eeden recently appeared in South African youth magazine Blunt, in an article explaining his straight edge lifestyle, a life of abstinence from drugs and alcohol.
