New Songs Out This Summer!!
New York's The XYZ Affair have come a long way since lead singer Alex Feder's high school demos that make up their roots. Originally forming out of New York University's basketball Pep Band, the band solidified their current lineup – Feder on vocals and guitar, Chris Bonner on bass and backup vocals, and Russ Maschmeyer on guitar, keyboards, and backup vocals—just over two years ago, and have since been mastering the art of writing soaring arena pop colored with the duality of confident energy and boyish vulnerability.
With an affinity for complex harmonies, wall of sound guitars, big drums, and flashy guitar solos, the group has since birthed its triumphant debut A Few More Published Studies, and the followup Trials EP, to the liking of a growing legion of devotees.
After a year of honing their approach through touring and recording, The XYZ Affair are attacking 2009 with quiet determination. Armed with new songs, a torrent of hooks, and a conquer-or-die ethic, the band has super plans and a big to-do list for the year. Task number one: update bio. Check.
