Prog-rockers X-Ray Press are gearing up to hit the road for the first time in nearly a year, launching a west coast tour in Seattle on Jan. 25. This year saw the band release their first full-length album, UVB-76 , back in January, as well as a split 7" featuring the talents of By Sunlight's Mike Sparks and Panther Attack's Kelly Mynes. Hailed by many critics as a math rock record for the ages, UVB-76 is at once challenging and accessible, aggressive and thought-provoking – in short, the kind of paradoxical [...]

The entire month after the holidays is always such a drag. That euphoria that you spend two months building up in November and December becomes decimated by the bleh month of January. Although, my resolutions are still somewhat intact, I plan on trudging forward with any semblance of a positive 2011 plan to put 2010 to shame. To all of you that prepared any new year's resolutions, may you succeed and don't let the haters get you down. Oh Land-White Nights (Twin Shadow Remix) Keegan Dewitt-Two Hearts [...]

How do I know the summer is officially over? Because all the music industry folks are working. How do I know all the music industry folks are working?

Admittedly, this has been kind of a schizophrenic week on MOKB. We've been bouncing from genre to genre with seemingly little regard for good taste or personal safety. With that in mind, here's a little something that's sure to be enjoyed by those of you who like your music a tad more pugnacious. Though it sounds suspiciously like a sunblock rating, UVB-76 is actually the new album from X-Ray Press . The Seattle-based unit seems to fill a niche in music previously occupied by bands like Wire and Refused, [...]

I imagine it would be fair to say that X-Ray Press are a math-rock band, but as usual it probably doesn't cover the full story here. Originally popping onto my radar a couple or so years ago a bit after the release of their EP BRKN TAPE , they had what was even then a pretty impressive grasp of their craft at the time by displaying strong musicianship spread throughout the group. I didn't write about them then, however I think at that point it would have [...]
