Die Kreuzen

Die Kreuzen was a highly influential American rock band from Wisconsin, active from 1981 to 1992 (with reunions later). Known for shifting from raw hardcore punk to experimental post-punk and melodic alternative rock, they are considered a "proto-everything" band for 90s grunge and indie rock. Key albums include Die Kreuzen (1984), October File (1986), and Cement (1991).
