Forged in the fires of classic and heavy rock, XDB delivers an electrifying sound that fuses raw power with sophisticated musicianship. Drawing inspiration from the legendary bands of the '70s and '80s, XDB channels the spirit of rock’s golden era while carving a modern sonic identity. With soaring vocals, blistering guitar solos, and thunderous rhythms, their music pays tribute to the rock legends of the past while boldly stepping into the future of rock. 

XDB started as the solo project for guitarist Xander Demos in 2011 to support his full length release “Guitarcadia”.  Produced by Firehouse frontman CJ Snare, Guitarcadia combined different styles of guitar virtuosos from the past and blended them together in a super crunchy, melodic and progressive manner. The band toured in support of Guitarcadia after signing with German label Rock N Growl Records.  With an impressive track record, XDB has shared stages with legends like Neil Zaza, UFO, The Dio Disciples, Uli Jon Roth, Adrenaline Mob, Symphony X, Helstar, and Winger, and many others.
