xDISCIPLEx A.D. was a straight edge Christian hardcore band from Erie, Pennsylvania.
Formerly xdisciplex or disciple, the band had to change its name in November 2000 to avoid legal actions due to the already-established Christian metal band Disciple.[3][4] They released albums with Goodfellow Records, Triple Crown Records and Facedown Records. The band often played in Ontario, Canada, due to its connections with the Buffalo/Hamilton hardcore scene and Goodfellow Records/Redstar Records.[5] In March 2000, Good Life Recordings announced a long-delayed split 7-inch vinyl between Disciple and melodic hardcore band As Friends Rust.[6] The split, which had been in development since 1998, was scheduled to use the December 1997 recording of Disciple's "Candy Apple", a song with pro-life lyrics, while As Friends Rust contributed a November 1996 recording of "The Only Point", a song with pro-choice lyrics.[6][7] However, the split was blocked by ex-As Friends Rust guitarist Henry Olmino, who had since become a pro-life supporter, and opposed the use of the song.[7]
After they disbanded, Dan Quiggle, Dave Quiggle, and Adam Salaga started another band called Jesus Wept,[8] while Neil Hartman joined No Innocent Victim.[9] Dave Quiggle moved to California during the summer of 2005 and also joined No Innocent Victim and works for Facedown Records doing design.[10]
Members of xDISCIPLEx A.D. also played in the bands Anchor, Dodgin' Bullets and Shockwave.
