Crease is an American hard rock band that formed in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1994. Three quarters of the band (Kelly Meister and brothers Fritz & Eric Dorigo) originally came from the Alt-Thrash band XSF (Excessive), which formed late in 1985.When their bass player quit the band to get married, friend of the band, Greg Gershengorn was brought in to replace him.Once a few shows that were previously booked as Excessive were completed, the band changed their name to Crease and started writing all new material.The band recorded a full-length studio album, Interference, on a local indie label in 1995.But it wasn't until the self-financed/self released album ...Six Pack Shy Of Pretty was released in 1998, that the group found success.Their major label release, Vindication and Indie release Only Human, would follow.
