Charging defiantly through the uncertain waves of pop culture and jaded critical attitudes, X Factor X unabashedly sails it’s own musically intense course, hell-bent on delivering an electrifying performance every time they hit the stage. Drawing upon cutting edge metal and rock influences, the band slants and shapes their music with roaring ferocity and eerily beautiful results.
From their earliest gigs throughout the New Haven CT area, the local music community quickly realized the undeniable chemistry of this audacious and outrageous four piece. Winning best metal band multiple years in a row (based on readers polls) in the area’s biggest arts & music newspaper as well as landing opening slots for many of their idols were positive signs for the band at a time when creating ferocious and interesting musical arrangements was not necessarily the norm.
Known for their sharp singing and playing abilities as well as their over the top live shows, Andre, John, Chris and Tony each bring a distinctive personality to the mix. Andre and Tony have known each other since ninth grade, and John, Andre and Chris all circled the same music scene for years before finally working together. They’ve always written what comes naturally to them, and that alone makes them stand out, but it seems to be the sheer energy they pound into their instruments that makes them so undeniable.There’s something more at work here besides cranking the amps to eleven and going for it, though. Give it a listen and see if you too agree that "They really might be on to something here..." ..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor V2.5, bitch!!!
