A straight-edge, politicized hardcore band from Erie, PA, XRepresenteX was founded in 2003 with bands like Buried Alive, Ringworm, and Earth Crisis cited as key influences. Much regional touring, musician turnover, and a few years later, vocalist Derek Ski, guitarist Jailbreak Jake, bassist Matty Biotch, and drummer R. Jizzle recorded their first album, True at All Costs, for 1981 Records. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
