PeroxWhy?gen (pronounced peroxygen) are an American rock band based in North Carolina and formed by professional wrestlers Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore. After they formed the band, members of the metal band Burnside 6 joined the band, but they later left with the exception of Junior. Shannon Moore left the band to focus on his wrestling career. They released their debut album Plurality of Worlds in 2013. Within the Cygnus Rift was released on July 27, 2015
History
The band formed when Jeff Hardy decided to follow up a childhood dream of becoming a rockstar. He, along with Shannon Moore, were the first members of the group. Members of Fueled by Science and Burnside 6 later joined the group.
According to Jeff Hardy, he thought of the name 'Peroxwhy?gen' one day while looking at a can of aerosol. Whilst looking at the can, the word peroxide caught his eye. Hardy then combined two words, peroxide and oxygen before deciding to place the word 'why?' in between the two, thus creating the name, 'Peroxwhy?gen'
