Oxx

Forming in 2012, the members of OXX all have extensive and varied histories on their local scene in any number of bands and projects ranging from punk, metal and freeform whatever to afrobeat and film score work. Skeleton… is the band’s fifth release and will be seeing the light of day in North America via Nefarious Industries, which takes a stab at describing their new charges like so: “ripping feverishly through math, noise, sludge, crust, avant-garde, and whichever other subgenre of extreme music imaginable. One might perhaps call it clusterfuck-core, but if that’s hard to picture, try getting blackout drunk and beating yourself to death with a Thomas Pynchon door stopper; that should put you in the ballpark.” Of course, that probably doesn’t help anybody pinpoint the unpinpointable and with that being the case, the best way to make sense of a band like OXX is to hear it for yourself before whipping out your own list of adjectives.
