WARNING

THEY SAY BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN PHILADELPHIA.

A rapper, a rock guitar player, a gospel player, and a rhythm section that can handle all of it walk into a bar…

There have been a lot of bands that are basically rock bands with a rapper, but none have integrated the neo-soul and gospel sound into their music. There have also been many bands that have that soul vibe that lack the energy and aggressiveness the rock guitar brings. “Genre-defying band that combines elements of hip hop, hard rock, neo soul, funk, and gospel” sounds impressive, but it doesn’t help you on stage.

Joe Perry once said “Let the music do the talking”, and if you want to get to know us, listen to the songs.

OUR TESTIMONY

WE don’t believe in rules…. Rules are limitations placed upon you by others through their own insecurities, fear, and lack of imagination. WE believe in learning the rules of your instrument so you are not bound by those rules, and you are free to create. If you were to ask the other guys in the band what this is to them, you’d probably get 5 different answers: and that’s really the point.

We deal in rock, hip-hop, jazz, funk, reggae, neo-soul, and we play live. We can take to any stage, in any circumstance and do what we do without the aid of a computer. It’s real, and that in and of itself, I believes sets this band apart. Soul has a story to tell, we help him tell it. There are 5 different versions to this story, and what I’ve laid before you is simply how I see it….

THE FIRST FULLY VIRTUAL RECORDING FROM XP

Love knows no language. XPRESIDENTS is pushing the envelope once again with a Latin inspired track. The soaring track features the big sound we’ve come to love from XPRESIDENTS, then it transforms into a salsa meringue party in the back half.

Produced written mixed and mastered by the band, this track is a good sign of what’s to come from the dynamic band.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by the XPRESIDENTS virtually during the Covid-19 global pandemic.

DRAMA IN HARLEM

THE FIRST LIVE EP FROM XP

There’s nothing like the live music experience – it will always bring you back to a special place and time. With this live EP, XP is capturing the magic of another electric night in Harlem. Two distinctly different singles showcase the incredible versatility the band is capable of. “Drama” the lead single, is a pop and R&B fusion record that tells the tale of a player in love with too many women. The B-side, “Let a Girl Work” is an energetic funk and rock jam packed full of hip-hop energy. The XPRESIDENTS are craftsmen at bridging the gap between genres & eras and this project is no different.

Recorded Live at Shrine World Music in Harlem, New York on January 25, 2020.

…throw out the strategy, this fight is going to be determined on heart and a good chin.

Expertly bridging the gap between rock and rap, XPRESIDENTS does it again with this powerhouse motivational anthem. With themes of perseverance over pain, failure into success, and turning doubters into believers, the dynamic group seem to show no signs of slowing down the campaign. This latest single “Step On It” features melt-your-face guitars, potent lyrics, thundering drums, deep bass, and a beautiful bed of keys and strings.
