bio:

first off, an anectode. this is pretty fucking weird, but when i first got to school here at hampshire, 3 and a half hours away from scarborough, a lot of people asked me about DFA, as in "oh, you're in a band? what's it called?" and i tell them and they say, "oh, never heard of 'em." yeah, well, i expected that, but like, HOLY CRAP. i met this kid here from somewhere in maine (not scarborough), and something about straight edge came up in conversation, and like, what the fuck, he says "oh

yeah, haha, like xbrassknucklesx style!" or something like that. yeah, like whoah, craziness. he hadn't heard of DFA, and he knew everysmithever when i described chris to him, but not by name, yet somehow he knew about this joke band that was randomly though up at the beginning of 2003 that was seriously never even close to elevated above concept phase. yeah, ok, sorry about the rant, but like whoah.

anyway, xBKx was this like over-the-top, militant edge, toughguy, straight-up-hardcore joke band, conceived at some early, early D4HMODFA practices. they originally were going to write a whole bunch of songs once they felt accomplished enough as a band to take a break and write for the side-project. basically, Dr. T wrote a whole bunch of lyrics and the italian stallion peed "xbkx" in the snow behind the D4HMODFA practice house, but that's about all that the band accomplished until writing the song for the oh snap! x-mas comp.

by the way, when D4HMODFA came up with the idea for xBKkx, they were 100% edge (this figure has since sigificantly declined since), and xBKx was in no way an anti-edge band (and still isn't). the band has always meant to serve as a statement against various bastardizations of hardcore-punk within "the scene," including straight edge kids beating kids up for drinking and shit, as well as your average toughman (yes, sir tipples, "tough man") going-to-shows-just-to-pick-fights-and-show-off assholes. yeah. nothing at all aimed at anyone imparticular, so don't get all pissy thinking the band hates you or even know who you are. haha, actually, come to think of it, someone once told the italian stallion if xBKx ever played a show he'd be there and he's like beat us up and stuff. kind of just proved the whole point the band was trying to make. dumb. Dr. T told me about a conversaton the band had early on about what to do if this situation ever went down, and their plan was for him to jump on haun's back and everybody like run away. hahaha, yeah. like for real.

releases:

none. the song "xmasx" should be appearing on the Merry Fucking Christmas, Whore! anti-xmas comp, so look for that this summer.
