about
Roxx Regime was the former band and name of todays Stryper founded in Orange County, CA in 1983. First known as Roxx from 1980 - 1981. Roxx Regime consisted of Scott Lane, John Voorhees, Michael Sweet, Robert Sweet. The band changed their name to Stryper when bassist Tim Gaines joined the band, replacing Voorhees. Poison's C.C. DeVille was briefly in the band replacing Lane before leaving and being replaced by Ox Fox. In 1983, a demo was released called the 'The Yellow and Black Attack!'. After Roxx Regime became a Christian band, they rewrote the songs from the band's demo tape to reflect their faith. They were soon signed by Enigma Records. The record company liked the band and their music, but suggested they change their name. With that, Roxx Regime became Stryper. There were no official releases under the name of Roxx Regime until Stryper released The Roxx Regime Demos in 2007 User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
