ALPHABETLAND

Description

Why now? (from the band):
We finished our record 3 weeks ago
We waited 30~ years to record an album as one again
Now we hear that albums are getting delayed because of covid but the time for this album is now.
Alphabetland is relevant to the present its not relevant to next year
Just because the world is changing around us, doesnt mean we dont stop being ourselves and doing what we do.
X has survived by adapting to the moment, now is no different than in 1980

While everyone is social distancing, closing ranks and donning masks while they shop, life can seem somewhat surreal to the senses. Yet, through all of the chaos, one thing is constant, music brings us together. Now, on the 40th Anniversary of the landmark, Los Angeles, and 35 years since the original band have released an album X, one of the greatest Punk Rock bands in music history, releases ALPHABETLAND. The original foursome Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebrake have now made the album available for fans to purchase and by adapting to this moment, X continues to embody the same spirit they did when they began in 1977.

When your heart is broken you think every song is about that. These songs were written in the last 18 months & it blows my mind how timely they are, explained John Doe. We all want our family, friends & fans to hear our records as soon as its finished. This time we could do that. Thanks to Fat Possum & our audience.
