Staggered Crossing

[1] The original group was formed in 1996 (according to some sources about 1997)[2] in Toronto by four high school friends, Julian Taylor (JT), David E.G. Marshall, Dan Black and Jeremy Elliott.

Later in 1996 they recorded their first EP with Toronto musician and producer, Darrell O'Dea[3] In 1997 David Marshall quit the group because he had entered the University of Montreal.

Staggered Crossing firmly made their reputation in Toronto and gained a lot of fans playing in the venues such as Lee's Palace, the Horseshoe Tavern, Reverb, the El Mocambo now as a permanent member.

The band continued to tour and perform across Canada with groups such as Big Sugar, Blue Rodeo, Nickelback, The Guess Who, Midnight Oil, 54-40, Wide Mouth Mason, Crowbar, and Spirit of the West.

The band also parted ways over creative differences later that year with Warner Music Canada, opting instead to start their own label.

[8] Following a number of recording sessions referred to as "1978", the year in which all four members were born, the band officially announced their breakup on August 29, 2007.

In conjunction with the concert, a tribute single entitled 'Pull You Through' and written by Bennett's former band Titanic Love Affair was released to Canadian radio[citation needed] .

The band also performed at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto on December 3, 2011, as part of the long-standing Christmas show: 'StagXmas Bash'.
