EXCEL-THE JOKES ON YOU (1989)



Excel's music was a sort of Thrash/Hardcore hybrid that appealed to skaters and thrashers alike. Indeed guitarist Adam Seigel joined the ranks of Infectious Grooves in the early 90's. Their music was well produced and was typical of the crossover sound at the time. The main reason I am including them is the remarkable similarity of the track 'Tapping Into The Emotional Void' with a certain famous Metallica track. Despite the Excel track being released 2 years earlier, nothing has ever gone to court although some ex-members did consider legal action in 2003. I have provided a link for the track so you can make your own mind up!
