XNO was formed in early 2007 as a way for two friends to get together; we swore we would never take this band seriously. Our goal and our vision was a simple one... to have fun, play music, and drink a little booze doing it. Who are we trying to fool? A lot of booze. After the two had played together for a month or two they decided it was time to start recruiting the other members of the band. What a pain in the ass that was. After what seemed like like several hundred lineup changes, we found the five guys that were the perfect fit for the band and for each other. Although it took a few months to find them all, in the end it was well worth the headaches and frustration. Things were going well for XNO... and then it happened. People started to hear our music, and to our amazement, they liked it. Well this led us down the path that we are currently on. It got to a point where we had no choice but to take all of this seriously. Well, either that or quit. And none of us wanted to quit. We loved what we were doing and playing too much. To be honest, even though it has been trying and frustrating at times we never thought it would go this far. We still love doing it and we love the reaction we get from everyone. We wouldn't change a thing. So what we will do here is start from the beginning. Brian had just recently come back to drumming after taking a 15 year hiatus. He had been playing around with different bands here and there. One of the bands he was jamming with was looking for a second guitar player. On the advice from a mutual friend Brian called up Sphynx and asked if he wanted to come down and jam. He said sure. He showed up. And things went terrible. Sphynx immediately didn't like the other guitar player, and the other guitar player didn't like him. Needless to say, Sphynx didn't join that band. But.... on the way home from that jam, Sphynx called Brian and asked if he wanted to start something new. Brian said HELL YES. And so XNO was formed. Sphynx came into XNO with very low expectations, soon however he was more than excited when things started going well for the band. You can tell, because when he gets excited he always buys a shitload of new equipment that he doesn't need. Sphynx's musical background is heavily fixed in the 80’s; to be exact 80's glam is his true love. Although XNO is the first serious band that Sphynx has been in. His true love of music comes from his father. Growing up in a musical household had a dramatic impact on Sphynx as a child and he has carried that love of music on into adulthood. At the time that Sphynx and Brian met, neither of them knew what a pain in the ass it was going to be to find the rest of the band. But it didn't matter. They were determined to put a band together that were as close musically as they were personally. In other words we wanted people that could not only be our band mates, but also our friends. Brian is the introvert of the band; he rarely has much to say. OH, he also looks like he's pissed off ALL time. Having played in bands heavily throughout the 80's and early 90's Brian decided it was time to quit drumming, even for fun. So for the next 15 years he didn't play a lick of music. After 15 years away that musical itch got the best of him and he went and bought a drum kit right away. He went straight back to playing along to the drummers he admires and respects: Neil Peart, Scott Rockenfield, Tommy Lee and a whole mess of other kick ass drummers To backtrack a little bit. Sphynx and Brian have a mutual friend, which in fact is how the two of them met. After the frustration of trying to find a singer, said frustration was relayed to said mutual friend who in turn told us that his brother was a fantastic singer. We did the whole "yeah right" thing and said "what the hell" have him come down to the rehearsal studio "it's worth a try". Well, that’s where we met J.T... To say the least... we were blown away at his vocal range and his eagerness to get into the band and get down to work. J.T grew up in the 80's and has a wide variety of musical tastes. His main influence while growing up was Sebastian Bach. He has been singing since he was about 13. His brother actually got him started by making him sing to KISS sheet music while he played guitar. Since then, he has been in several bands, 2 of which were signed to indie labels. So as you can see, each and every member of XNO is completely different from the next. What jost would think would turn out to be a walking disaster has turned out to be a killer formula... although we all get along like step brothers. But, we make the music we love and we get to do it in front of all of you. We look forward to seeing you out there. XNO is on a campaign to set themselves apart from the crowd and give its audience and listeners what they came to see and hear. Kick ass skull splitting metal, and a live show that is second to none. Nothing less than world domination will be acceptable. So sit down, shut up, and get ready for the ride of your life. We love ya! XNO
