Crooked X

The members of Oklahoma-based metal-influenced hard rock quartet Crooked X had barely entered their teens when they made a splash in 2008. Interest was stirred when the band's homemade video won second place on a segment of the CBS Morning Show entitled "Living Room Live," and the band was subsequently signed to EMI. The EP Till We Bleed was released in 2008, and Crooked X gained further recognition with opening slots for Kiss and Ted Nugent, plus the selection of three of their songs for the music video game Rockband. The band's full-length debut became available digitally in 2009. Crooked X has also been the subject of a documentary entitled Rock n' Roll Dream. ~ Anthony Tognazzini
