RICHMOND COUNTERCULTURE RVA

The Beginning
White Cross was formed in Richmond, Va. circa 1980 the original members were, Crispy, Mikey Rodriguez, Alford Faulkner, and Scotty Price. The band originally called themselves Red Cross. They changed the name to White Cross after being served a cease-and-desist order from the American Red Cross organization.
At the time cheap little speed pills called white crosses were popular with the more enlightened citizenry. Gimme drugs!
So, that's why the name White Cross was chosen, certainly not for any religious purposes, or for any KKK crap, or appreciation of any other cult assholes. Fuck a cult.
White Cross played often in and around the Richmond area. Alford Faulkner left the band not long after the name change. He would later play with The Prevaricators. No one knows why.

If you have any photos of Red Cross or the original White Cross or any that should be on this site please e-mail them to us.

In 1982 White Cross recorded the critically acclaimed EP entitled Fascist.
The EP was recorded "live" in Studio 2, at the Union Theological Seminary.
Penn Rollins played bass.
