Not the computing device programme, merely a skatecore/crossover band from Venice, CA (where else?), Excel were musical baby brothers to hometown heroes Suicidal Tendencies, and recorded a trio of albums which became quite popular with informed fans of the genre, if non the music-buying masses. Formed in 1985 by vocalizer Dan Clemente, guitarist Adam Siegel, bassist Shaun Ross, and drummer Greg Saenz, Excel debuted in 1987 with the well-meant only excessively ST-dependent Split Image. They afterwards learned a few original tricks of their own for 1989's slightly improved The Joke's on You, only split up for a few years before recording 1995's funk-thrash wander song Quest Refuge -- by which clock time they'd started sounding more care San Francisco's Mordred.
