Bio
With intricate harmonies, and catchy rhythms, Xzamen is hitting the South-Eastern states with the pop-punk sound known to bring energy to every show, and excitement to every fan. Even listeners of other genres can’t deny that the clever lyrics, and heartfelt melodies will leave at least one xzamen song repeating itself in your head after attending a show, or listening to one of these boys hard-earned cd’s.
Originally a cover band formed in 2001, Xzamen is now a pop-punk quartet hailing from the northern reaches of the Atlanta metro area. Facing member losses, and financial difficulties, the group has hurdled over every obstacle with a new found determination to reach their lifelong goal of melodies, memories, friends, and fun.
Now utilizing the talents of David Fortner (Guitar/Vocals), Chase Genn (Guitar/Vocals), BJ Formella (Bass/Vocals), and Breck Blanchard (Drums); the group turns it’s focus to reach the ears of surrounding states and beyond. Also using the accomplishments of their past (Second place finalists of the 2005 Emergenza International Battle of the Bands) as fuel, Xzamen’s dedication goes on long after their last chord of their last song is played. Each member’s free time is spent on anything to promote their art, from booking shows and assembling tours, to building relationships with other bands and even their own fans. The band Just finished recording 15 tracks (in 8 days) that will be featured on thier highly anticipated CD, “Forgive Me”. Even though facing recording difficulties, and scheduling conflicts, the band still perseveres, making all efforts possible to assure that this project will not fall short of their combined visions.
Among other achievements, Xzamen has had several of their songs recognized over the media by radio, television, live web-casts, and news articles. Yet the exposure hasn’t stopped there! Xzamen also expects to have airplay on stations such as 105.3 “The Buzz” (Atlanta, GA), 93.3 (Columbia, SC), and 96.7 (Greenville, SC). Upon the completion of their new CD to be released July 12th 2006, Xzamen plans on finally extending their voice to both major and independent record labels. Judging by their refusal to accept defeat with trials past, rest assured that Xzamen will be heard by kids across America, and then some, in the near future! With the dream, the dedication, and talent to match; “Xzamen” will be next name printed on the marquees across the US.
