Neon Cross

Neon Cross is an American Christian metal band that was formed in Hollywood, California, in 1984. Neon Cross started playing clubs in Hollywood during the 1980s, and attracted the attention of record company Regency Records in 1988. The band was asked to record two songs for their upcoming California Metal compilation album. After the release of that record, Neon Cross was signed to Regency to record their self-titled album, which was released the same year.

In 1993, the band got back together and was signed by Rugged Records to record their second full-length CD, Torn. Neon Cross has been performing in the US, with Dave Reeves and Don Webster being asked by Liberty N' Justice to record a song for a compilation album. The song, "Snake Eat Snake", was recorded in Don Webster's studio and features all members of the band performing on the song.
