The Mobile, Alabama-based band has been making abstract punk noise and busting out high-octane live shows since the 90s, when a bunch of xbxrx was still going to high school on the weekdays between shows. Here's a great interview from that period, that starts with the band forgetting to use their stage names and the interviewer reminding them.
Live, the band has often departed from the structures and strictures of their recorded material, (IMPOSE got a taste of that one a few months ago), so it comes as little surprise and with anticipation that the band announces an improv-based 7 song EP called Sounds, to be released in late summer by Important Records. Quote:
” The album features seven improvisations of distinctive character and mood ranging from frenzied storms of white noise to pointillistic chamber music.”
