"Excel is a crossover thrash band from Venice California, founded in 1983 as "Chaotic Noise" by singer Dan Clements and guitarist Adam Siegel. Soon Evan Warech joined on drums, and In 1984 Rickey Pallamino on bass. Warech and Pallamino were out of the group the following year, replaced by Greg Saenz and Shaun Ross respectively. The band's name was then changed to 'Excel', after influence from Ross and his graffiti crew K.S.N. (Kings Stop At Nothing) utilizing the word in their tags."
