About Me

Xploya is an original modern rock band that combines engaging positive lyrics with a crankin' sound. One might make comparisons to Switchfoot, Coldplay, Hoobastank, Creed, and POD in their musical style. Members of the group bring a wealth of experience to the band in recording, writing music, and playing live in Clubs, festivals, fairs, schools, churches, and youth rallies. Xploya has begun to gain a loyal following through live appearances and through their presence on the web. Myspace has been a great way to network with fans and other like minded bands. Most recently they appeared at the 2006 Pro Life Music Festival. They have shared the stage with Kutless, Superchick, Seventh Day Slumber, Building 429, Story Side B, Disciple, Stellar Kart, Jonah 33, Monday Morning, Olivia The Band, Everyday Sunday, Manic Drive, RedCloud, Poor Mans Riches, FireFlight, Slingshot 57, Liptocoal, Falling Into Place, deathisnotwelcomehere, Our Hearts Hero, Since October, Providence, and Inhabited. Xploya's future plans include touring on their present cd "Just A Dream" and writing material for their next release. The latest addition to the Xploya team has been that of Producer Trey Gray. He has helped to shape the arrangement of their songs from their debut CD, and the live presentation to a polished product
