They never made it as big as they should have, God knows, but X was and remains one of the great punk bands of all time. This is one of the stellar cuts from Wild Gift, their second disc, which was every bit the equal of their first.

Essential Punk Rock Record

Artist:
-
Album:live from the masque
-
Track:
The combination of X and Dangerhouse Records equals a priceless punk rock memento. “Adult Books” backed with “We’re Desperate” and a cool picture sleeve photographed and conceived by the late Jules Bates was made even sweeter by the nifty handwritten lyrics. That John Doe… what a poetic songwriter! Everything about this relic brings back rich memories of the golden age of punk rock.

Album:Los Angeles (Expanded & Remastered)
Think of the Ramones with extraordinary musical chops and exceptional song-writing ability, and you have the essence of X: fast, loud, passionate and really brilliant punks whose best records have so much variety and scope that they hold up to hundreds of listens.The heart of the band is bassist John Doe and Exene Cervenka; "Ma and Pa Kettle," as Doe refers to them, co-vocalists and the kind of...

Track:Positively 4th Street
X on a good night. A slow burn, a smoldering rage that explodes into a vicious aural assault. Anyone lucky enough to have seen X in their heyday has never forgotten the show(s). Ferocious spikey rocknroll, equal part challenge & homage to "the accepted order of things", they were falsely called punks, a label that fit them like a glove on a hook. X were as Americana as Johnny Cash, as f...

and I head under the covers. See what I did there, yeah sometimes I amaze even me. Its been a while since I have posted a sundays covers song, and this one just came on my itunes, felt the need to share. The original was done by X, and still is my favorite version of this song. However take the Supersuckers and add Eddie Vedder, and you have the makings for a great cover of a great song. For th...

School is finally over, so I should be able to hang out here more often now. I'll get some concert reviews up here soon.Bought Bret Easton Ellis' novel Less Than Zero on Tuesday and finished it a couple days ago. Not sure why I bought it. Guess I was in the mood for some postmodern literature. The only prior exposure to Ellis' work that I had was Roger Avary's film adaptation of The Rules of At...
