It’s true. No one sounds like X, and no one ever will.
This is a portal to one of those rabbit holes the AMM is damn proud to send you down.
You don’t need to be told how badass X is, or how they laid some groundwork for a helluva lot of music you love today, in punk and beyond.
No, no. Instead, the AMM will first redirect you to some essential listening, like Los Angeles and Under The Big Black Sun. Then, take a gander at W.T. Morgan‘s documentary X: The Unheard Music, to get some of that rawness into your system. Soak in the unglamorous side of LA you never knew. And then, you absolutely MUST read KUTX Music Editor Jeff McCord‘s interview with John Doe to get some schoolin’ on The Legacy of X.
After that, make sure you see X tonight at The Paramount Theatre, before they resume their final tour celebrating their last album as X, Smoke & Fiction.
Are we clear on this? Good. Get to it, fiend.
