X

X is without a doubt one of my favorite Punk bands (and quite infulential). They're from Los Angeles, wrote a song about Los Angeles, and received an Official Certificate of Recognition from the City of Los Angeles in acknowledgment of their important contributions to Los Angeles music and culture. That was quite a mouthful so I think that covers the description of the band. Now on to the music: generally fast-paced with a lot of energy behind the drums, guitar, and bass; the semi-abrasive singing and the fake harmonies may take some getting used to, but they are characteristic of X's music and to a lesser extent punk music. But they were also kinda Folk - as Jordan put it, "music for the people by the people." All members except vocalist Exene had years of musical experience and were quite knowledgeable on the subject of music theory. I hope you enjoy the music.
Los Angeles - it's why they received the certificate
The Unheard Music - slower, but dark; also the title of a documentary about the band
