Cross Examination Tickets

Cross Examination hails from St. Louis, Missouri, delivering a high-octane blend of crossover thrash, thrashcore, and punk that’s fueled by humor and strong, beer-soaked riffs. Active since the 2000s, they’ve built a reputation as an Awesome Party Squad on stage and in press materials. While their core energy lies in heavy riffs and relentless tempo, their shows are known for crowd interaction, high energy, and a no-nonsense approach to getting fans moving.

On Organized Crime Records, Cross Examination released notable records such as Dawn of the Dude (2014) and Menace II Sobriety (2008). The band has earned recognition from major voices in the metal press, including a Decibel Magazine exclusive stream and interview for Dawn of the Dude in 2014. In 2014, they shared the stage with D.R.I. in St. Louis, showcasing their hometown power alongside legendary thrash influence.

While public tour listings slowed down after the 2010s, Cross Examination remains a staple for fans of aggressive, party-ready thrash.
