about

Rock band with a rapper? R&B group with a rock guitar player?? Hip hop artist that doesn't use tracks??? <---- (That might be the closest one yet).

We're five musicians from in and around Philadelphia who bring together all that Philadelphia music encompasses: the rock, funk, hip hop, soul, and we play it live. The studio has become a panacea for whatever an artist is lacking to the point it has become difficult to discern who is on a record; where the technology ends and the person begins. We're old enough to remember an era where you had to go out there without the computer and rely only on your band-mates and instrument to execute your songs. We believe we are a live band first and foremost, and that is the best way to see us: in a club, late at night, completely live. We are giving you that experience on this record, excerpts from a two-hour show up in Harlem, New York.

We don't believe in rules, and do not feel the need to conform to the confines of a genre. The five of us have pulled from our disparate influences that together make up the sound of this particular city and when put together becomes Xpresidents. Give it a listen and you can decide for yourself who we are and what we're about. As for us, we believe ourselves to be a Philly band through and through.
