about

xEVEN THE ODDSx was a beatdown style hardcore band from North Adams, MA. Active in the late 2000's they were a direct follow-up to the band Back Down From No One. xETOx was fronted by vocalist Chris "Wojo" Wojnicki who would later go on to the bands Before I Had Wings and xForgiveness Deniedx.

We have partnered again with Wojo to release this nearly lost LP that was briefly released on MySpace in 2008. The only release from xETOx it has sat shelved for years. Originally planned to be a 10 track album, one of the files has gone missing from the original recordings. Being released for the first time as a 9 track album, with the promise that if the tenth track surfaces it will be added later on. Check out this piece of 2000's era beatdown history from Western Massachusetts.

Originally recorded in 2008.

UPDATE (5/26/2023): The missing track "War On Drugs" has been located. Unfortunately It will not appear on the CD, but will come with the download, even the download included with CD purchase. Or pick up as a single with it's own cover artwork. Big thanks to our friend Cody Green for finding the track and sending it to us.

Rebirth may be one of the best bands going right now. I'm usually a fan of the youth crew style of hardcore, but this stuff cannot miss. Recommended! Millwall D.
