The XX, consisting of Jamie Smith, Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim (former band memeber Baria Qureshi Left in 2009), are a band from london formed in 2005. Their are music style is defined as indie pop/indie rock although personally I feel that they are so mcuh more and you will hear out strong elements of synthie pop-rock and alternative. Their debut (and only) album XX has made it to the platinum in UK, the album placed 9th on rolling stones best of year list and 2nd for the NME best of the year list. The band was also placed at 6th in the NME "The future 50 list". Their songs have been used for various tv series (like gossip girl, lie to me and many more) and specialy their album song "Intro" has been used for many comercials. In september 2010 the band won the Barclycard Mercury Prizefor their debut album (good start with a first album if you ask me).
As always I prefer leaving you with some music videos so you can make your own impression of this band, which I personally consider one of the top (if not the top) up and coming band to look out for in the next years!!!
