X's for I's

X’s for I’s formed in Portland Oregon in 2004 through a series of odd coincidences and a mutual appreciation for noise-rock, post-punk, general rhythmic clamor and geek humor laced with boner jokes. A year of steady writing and practicing commenced leading on to their fledgling shows. It was at this point that the seal was broken and the sweat proceeded to descend. Playing alongside their musical peers like Replicator, Wisdom Teeth, Black Elk, Science of Yabra and Prick and the Burn, X’s for I’s culled new inspiration and drive, both with their songwriting and their live show. What started as an attempt to rock alongside their peers turned into a formidable creature all its own. Born of raucous, chord heavy bass, strung along dual vocals and guitars that scatter-blast harmonics over thick, unfuckwithable chord progressions. All of this sitting atop a drum section that feels like a pummeling from wild apes for 4 to 6 minute stretches. If you care to listen, X’s for I’s will sweat, shake speakers and rock the solid and the heavy for you….sometimes in 6/8 time even. This is worth it, trust me. Read more on Last.fm.
