Take a Walk Down Chestnut Street with XERXES

by Ryan Minic | Aug 6, 2014

We’ve been posting about Xerxes the past few years, and they’ve toured with tons of bands that you know about — Pianos Become The Teeth, This is Hell, Daylight (now Superheaven), and so on. The Kentucky band’s debut album, Our Home Is a Deathbed, struck a nerve with folks in 2012, and now they’re back with a follow-up.

The band’s new album is called Collision Blonde, and it’s set for an October 21st release through No Sleep Records. As the band told Spin, the new album is “a lyrical wreck that’s driven by love, drugs, depression.” We feel you on that.

Here’s a new song from the band — it’s called “Chestnut Street.”
