While the history of Charing Cross extends back into the late '80s, the actual formation of the band is 1993, when Pascal Zwyssig, the most tenured member of the current line-up, joined the group. In the following years the Swiss outfit was plagued by several line-up changes. Over the course of the band's career, Charing Cross played numerous concerts with renowned acts such as Nazareth, Suzie Quattro and Soul Sirkus.

Charing Cross have recorded 4 demos and one EP, and eventually in 2009 the band's line-up was complete. Vocalist Peter Hochuli is backed by guitarists Pascal Zwyssig and Andy Dormann, foriming a powerful rhythmic sound with virtuous solos. Riodi Halter (drums) and Markus Flury (bass) ensure the band's driving groove stays intact.

"We Are..." marks Charing Cross' full-length debut, which was produced and mixed by the band itself with mastering done by Dave Ponzio (DPP Studio). The album contains a varied mix of stamping hard-rock songs, melodious heavy metal tunes and even includes a ballad. The album represents exactly what Charing Cross have stood for throughout the years.
