A Few More Published Studies, reveals a band that has come miles since their
music program incarnation. These days, the XYZ Affair is a group of musicians
instinctively versed in those who took a classic power pop approach...think Big
Star, Weezer, of course, and even Queen at times. Like those touchstones that
came before them, the XYZ Affair embrace rock's time honored basics, though the
over the top guitars, flashy hooks and solos, and locked in rhythm section
rarely comes at the expense of the song.
Hailing from Brooklyn, NY The XYZ Affair makes epic power pop with theatrical
vocals and instrumentation. ItÆs a sunny sound with rich, four-part harmonies
and driving guitars. Their latest album, A Few More Published Studies is a
consistently upbeat, multi-layered and melodic collection of progressive power
pop.
