"You can never fully put your finger on the reason why you're suddenly, inexplicably compelled to explore one life as opposed to another."
-Daniel Day-Lewis

This much can be said for the smalltown boy's of Lake Elsinore, CA's XOversa (ex-oh-ver-suh) who have given everything up to pursue success and are determined to do whatever it takes to get their music heard by as many ears as possible.

Coming together in January of 2005, XOversa shared the same idea of creating something fresh in a town so heavily concentrated with bands. XOversa attributes their melodic and catchy rock style to their moods and surroundings at the present moment in time, while still maintaining the mindset they created the band with, writing catchy and fun music that they love to play.

With two EPs (Recall The Scenery, The Rescue), a full-length LP titled "Asleep in the Afterlife", two nation-wide US tours, one being with A Heartwell Ending and Along Way Home, and countless shows with bands such as: Days Away, hometown friends Yesterdays Rising and Cosmonaut (reformed now as Finch), Rookie of the Year, the Working Title, Weatherbox, and Nurses just to name a few and even holding the crowd's attention playing with bands such as The Destro and The Autumn Offering, XOversa has no plans of slowing down.

Almost a year in the making, "Asleep in the Afterlife" proves to be XOversa's strongest material to date. Although being one of the hardest things XO has ever done, the process has helped them grow not only as a band, but also as people. Finding themselves in a rough spot stemming from a frustrating and expensive experience during pre-production and recording of the album, XOversa enlisted the help of Ryan Baker (The Sound of Animals Fighting, RX Bandits, Escape the Fate) to help complete what they had worked so hard for, and feel it's one of the best decisions they've ever made as a band.

XOversa is now a part of Ryan Baker and Max Fiedel's newly formed label, New Agenda Records, where their debut album was released in early May 2008.
