Sixth in Sixes

Release Date: September 13, 2005

Love them or hate them, you'll never forget them.

Over the years xbxrx's style of joyous musical assault has been championed by many major figures in underground rock -- having opened on tours with admirers such as Sonic Youth, Peaches, Unwound, Mr. Quintron, Deerhoof and Q and Not U, as well as worked with accomplished producers like Steve Albini, Ian MacKaye, Vern Rumsey and Tim Kerr.

On Sixth in Sixes (the band's fourth full-length and first for Poyvinyl), xbxrx reveals a newfound musical growth and maturity over the course of 18 succinct and varied tracks. Mating a post-hardcore guitar onslaught with articulate experimentation and intense, cathartic vocals, xbxrx creates relentlessly modern rock music that is as chilling as it is invigorating.

You have to hear this album, you have to seethem live - before XBXRX changeseveryone else's lives too.

- Rasputin Manifesto
Simply wonderful.

- Vice (5/5)
They burst with spastic and sharp shifts andchanges and surprisingly full and melodious layers.... Sixth in Sixes is unruly, unrelenting, and unavoidable.

- Rasputin Manifesto
Sixthin Sixes is a startling maturation and evolution by a band that was alreadythe saving grace of the willfully stale post-hardcore underground.

- Subject
Sixthin Sixes is easily the best album released so far this year: a beast thatwill not be ignored, shoved aside, or defeated.

- Subject
xbxrx could be the last best hope for rock 'n' roll.
