AC could have opened for Camper Van Beethoven or Built to Spill in the 90's and fit right in, all the while keeping his punk integrity and under the radar messethics in terms of sound and style. Nashville-style picking could get him a Gretsch endorsement, or a place in Johnny Cash or Roy Orbinson's backing band once he reaches the gates of heaven (Trudgers is going to hell, for sure. Not too sure about Twin Lion). I've heard it called "Doo Wop", but maybe we'll coin this "Don't Wop", like no wave was to new wave. Or maybe we won't."...
Moral Crux are a punk band from Ephrata, Washington.
Formed in 1983 by James Farris and Jeff Jenkins, the remaining original members. Jarred Brown plays guitar and Lee Lester drums.

The Crüxshadows to niezależna grupa muzyczna z Tallahasee na Florydzie, utworzona w 1992 przez Rogue'a (Virgil Roger du Pont), Seana Flanagana i Tima Curry'ego.
Ich styl grania łączy syntezatory, gitary i instrumenty smyczkowe, tworząc dość oryginalną mieszankę - ich muzyka jest mroczna (zaliczani są w końcu do darkwave i gothic), ale taneczna i dynamiczna.
Grupa odniosła spory sukces na scenach gotyckich i darkwave'owych na całym świecie, stosunkowo mało znani są w Polsce. Koncertują intensywnie, biorąc udział w festiwalach na całym świecie - wystąpili między innymi na Castle Party w 2008 roku.
