The seminal band, X, were one of the early pioneers of punk rock music in Los Angeles, firmly planting their flag in the winds of change that was taking place. But it wasn't in vain. In all respect, X's influence was spawning the next generation showing punk how it's done, L.A. style. X not only taught the possibilities and expansion of rock music, show after show was an experience towards this musical light, and simply, just how to have a great time in this new "church".
