The Statement
After two albums,
the bottle gets opened.
Chris Grove wrote, performed, and produced the first two records. Twenty-one songs of catalog held the rock charts organically for three years and counting.
Bringing Mark Huff in for X3 was a creative decision rooted in friendship and a shared vision for this band. Mark's voice fronted Quiet Riot. The two of us have talked music for years, and the chemistry on these new songs showed up the first time we worked them. X3 is Xtreme Intent with Mark out front, the sound evolved.
Shake well before opening.
