For those of you who don't already know, Mainline Adrenaline no longer exists in an official capacity. We had a line-up change last February and Joe Ehmann joined the MLA family. Shortly after Joe joined, some rather underhanded actions were taken by the former MLA guitarist. Due in part to those actions, in addition to having a new guitarist and new material, MLA decided to change its name and leave some of the negative drama behind. Crusader is the product of that decision. While maintaining our stylistically unique characteristics, Crusader encompasses more of the enthusiasm and raw passion for hardcore and metal music that we felt was at times lacking in MLA. I will say without any hesitation that those who liked MLA will love Crusader even more. I understand that to some, Mainline Adrenaline was something special and something to rally around but I assure you that the comradery that you loved about MLA will only be more intense and heartfelt from your friends in Crusader. I've rambled enough for now. The bottomline is, we love and greatly appreciate all those who supported MLA and made it successful and we look forward to continuing to bring you intense live shows and music you can really get behind under the new flag of Crusader.


Thanks,
Andy.
