Neon Cross is a Christian rock and Heavy Metal band that was formed in California in 1983. Neon Cross started playing clubs in Hollywood during the 80's and attracted the attention of record company Regency Records in 1987 and was asked to record two songs for their upcoming compilation album. After the release of that CD, Neon Cross was signed to Regency to record their self-titled album. 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 and is working on another CD due out sometime in 2007. Dave Reeves and Don Webster were asked by Liberty N' Justice to record a song for an upcoming CD. The song is called "Snake Eat Snake". It was recorded in Don Webster's studio and features all members of the band performing on the song.
