   "A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join.

  There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country.

  Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) - they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject..."

  Crush 40, formerly known as Sons of Angels, is a rock band that originally intended to create music for the Sega arcade racing game NASCAR Arcade (also known as NASCAR Rubbin' Racing outside of America). The core of the group is the hard rock guitarist and video game composer Jun Senoue and vocalist Johnny Gioeli, who is also the vocalist for the bands Hardline and Axel Rudi Pell. Due to the reunion of the Norwegian band Sons of Angels, the band changed its name to Crush 40, and released its second album under this name.

  Since forming, Crush 40 has released three studio albums, Thrill of the Feel, Crush 40 and has recently released Super Sonic Songs Which includes remastered versions of many of their originals. The band has also contributed music to game soundtracks for Wave Master Entertainment, including the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Most of the band's contributions are songs for the various games in this series.

  Crush 40's origin began with guitarist Jun Senoue and his employment with Sega. After graduating from college in 1993, Jun Senoue was employed by Sega to be a music composer for video games. His first project was creating two songs for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

  In 1998, Senoue contacted the singer from Hardline, Johnny Gioeli, and recorded their first song as a group, Open Your Heart. After making the track, which would later be on the video game Sonic Adventure, the two stayed in contact. Eventually from this relationship spawned a project band to make the soundtrack for another game Senoue worked on, NASCAR Arcade.
