Biography
Die Kreuzen (pronounced Dee-Kroytzen) was a rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin which was formed in 1981. The name is broken German for "the crosses", although in faulty grammar ("Die Kreuze" would be the correct form) and was picked up by the band from a German Bible. They began as a hardcore punk group and rapidly became a source of inspiration for a wide range of alternative rock musicians, including Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, Voivod, Tool, Drive Like Jehu, Alice In Chains, and Neurosis.
