Sounds Like
STRANGE PSYCHEDELIC EROTICA FOLK ROCK,,,KINDA,,SOMETIMES.. my favorite descriptions of the X+X sound...... "loose psychedelic jams that included elements of Prog rock and Surf Punk- at times sounding massive and hypnotic and somewhat reminiscent of post metal acts such as Neurosis and Isis minus the metal" --Brad Vidmar,RiverCity Reader..................... "the sound got very loud, very quickly with the highlight coming when Jones [HEAT] started to play the guitar with a violin bow, creating an eerie, sad sound."--Stephanie Pasquale, Q.C. Times-Go&DO....................... "sounds like a mix of Tom Waits, "good" Brian ENO and classic Allman Brothers"--P.Michael and Travis from Chicagos ONO.................. "VERY kOOKY and expressive songs"--Suckling Pigs.................. "you didnt play any real songs"--drunk dude at a show................ "Jones singing style [which sounds like something like a cross between Buzz Osbourne of the Melvins and Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers--Brad Vidmar--RiverCity Reader................. > http://my.quadsville.com/StephanieDePasquale/blogvmix_media_id=3274429
