Which Venice Beach Crossover Thrash Bands Do You Know?
Back in the late ’80s and early ’90s, the unique sound of Venice Beach had a massive influence on me musically. Bands like Suicidal Tendencies, Beowülf, and Excel brought a special mix of fast, hardcore-influenced crossover thrash that perfectly matched the vibe of skateboarding in the sun, rocking a bandana around your head, surf shorts, and Vans.
I’m curious—are there any newer bands out there carrying the torch for this style? Let me know your favorites or hidden gems in the comments!
