Rubicon Cross

Based out of Chicago, Illinois, melodic hard rock ensemble Rubicon Cross was formed by longtime friends <a href="spotify:artist:4BsgEA8U1Z1fzzLuawfW78">C.J. Snare</a> and Chris Green, the former the founding member, lead vocalist, and chief songwriter for multi-platinum selling pop-metal outfit <a href="spotify:artist:28pS8WVbFstY0o1SrqCf8I">Firehouse</a>, and the latter an English guitar virtuoso and founding member of <a href="spotify:artist:2GwKaLN6YujjY8krVBwxb9">Furyon</a> and Pride. The project originated as a solo vehicle for the prolific <a href="spotify:artist:4BsgEA8U1Z1fzzLuawfW78">Snare</a>, but expanded into a full-on band affair with the addition of Green, who brought along Pride bass player Simon Farmery, guitarist Jeff Lerman, and drummer Robert Behnke. The band's eponymous debut long-player, a fiery blend of classic melodic metal and modern rock, was issued via the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Universal%22">Universal</a> imprint <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22INgrooves%22">INgrooves</a> in 2014. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
