Forrest | Lead Vocals-Guitar
When I was four I picked up a guitar..It was like a choir of angels flew down from heaven, sustaining one long note! Ahhhhh!! (ha-ha)..But on a serious note, it was alot of work..Me and all the band members have dedicated our lives to our love for music. For every downside, there are fifty upsides!..Most important to me is meeting our fans..It is the highlight of my career! I appreciate you guys soo much!
Much love,
Forrest French
Jesse | Lead Guitar-Vocals
I'm thankful to all of our fans for supporting our music and all our efforts we have put forth towards following our dreams. We have traveled across the U.S., met many world reknowned icons, and have had the opportunity to hang with many inspiring stars that are following their dreams as well. Writing, arranging, recording, touring, and " PRACTICING" is alot of hard work, but it is ALL worth it when the audience is screaming for MORE!!!

I have been a part of Crooked X for almost 2 years and we have accomplished so much in that time. We have toured with some great bands, met famous people, traveled coast to coast- and it has all been an awesome experience. I can hardly wait to see what is next.

Ever since I was a fetus, I knew that I wanted music to be a major part of my life. We started the band in the 5th grade & since then we have made some of the best memories ever (like when Josh got lost @ McDonald's on the way to a show) because we are doing what we love.......MUSIC!!!
Metallica, Black Label Society, AC/DC, Megadeth, Pantera, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Dream Theater, Ted Nugent, Black Stone Cherry, Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Shinedown, Audioslave, and Pink Floyd are just a few
Crooked X channel their youthful aggro-energy, hopes, and hormones into a 10-song, self-titled debut album rife with searing guitars, passionate vocals and intense, radio-ready heavy rock. Their organic sound was inspired by the ‘70s, but boasts a new millennium sound. Amazingly, the members of Crooked X --who have been friends and playing music since fifth grade—are now only 14, mere high school freshmen in Coweta, OK (population 7,000). Guitarist Jesse
Cooper emphasizes: “We don’t want to be looked at for our age, because our music is good for any age. And, YES, we do write our own songs!” Crooked X cites everything from Pantera to Hank Williams Sr. to Metallica as influences, and share songwriting and lyrical duties for a true full-band collaboration. Crooked X’s MPM/EMI/Capitol self-titled debut (out January 27, 2009)
features the dark riffs of “Nightmare” (featured in Rock Band™), the first single, “Rock & Roll Dream,” and “Adrenaline,” the subject of a Wayne Isham-directed video. Even before scoring their 2008 deal with EMI, Crooked X were opening for KISS in Europe, touring with Ted Nugent, and released (on October 7th, 2008) a digital-only release of the three-song EP, Til We Bleed, for rabid fans of all ages.
You guys rock! Thanks for the add and all. Trying to get some of my online dj friends to show love to the band too. There is one that is looking really hard for your music. Keep up with the killer shreds and awesome music
