Is Crush 40 part of Sega
No, Crush 40 is its own band. Jun Senoue was hired by Sega our of
college to write some guitar riffs for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and
continued writing riffs for them for a couple years. Then when Jun
was working on Sonic Adventure, he asked Johnny Gioeli to help him
with "Open Your Heart". That started "Sons of Angels". They changed
their name to Crush 40 after a Nordic band reunited around the time
of Sonic Adventure 2.
They've made plenty of songs alone without Sega (Song of Hope, One
of Those Days, Is It You, etc.), it just so happens that they were
formed because of a job from Sega.
