Album Notes

Growing up in south Wales, music has been a part of all our lives from a young age. With a healthy local music scene that was fast becoming stale, it was clear after college we would each pursue a musical career and have a part to play in our genres resurrection.

Since early 2004 when Dario and Kris became friends, they quickly discovered their love for music and songwriting was taking form. As people took notice, Phils arrival only strengthened the partnership. Working hard and rehearsing regularly, new material was taking shape. Lacking a bass player and front man, a chance meeting in a local bar changed everything. With Norm having left his former band, and Ben wanting to get back into music after moving to Newport to study, boys with xray eyes were born.

Constantly evolving our ever-changing repertoire, in time, we came to settle on a specific style and sound, allowing us to always stand out and draw attention from even the most main stream of listeners.

“BWXE are a visceral and emotive journey through the senses. Once in a lifetime a band comes along and defies the standards, acceptability’s and conventions of a musical genre because in the end, what they mean to their fans is so much more. BWXE are a heart-on-your-sleeve, blood and guts, muck and bullets metal band that live every note worth playing, feel every beat worth pounding and encapsulate every word worth screaming. They are uncompromising yet accessible, heavy yet melodic, challenging yet worth understanding. In short, Boys With X-Ray Eyes they may be, Men With Prophetic Vision is a closer guide of what to expect. Such is the maturity and originality of their sound. If you have lived a life with any kind of emotion, thought or acumen, BWXE have something that can penetrate your soul and will make you a true believer, no matter what your musical partiality may be. Open your mind. Open your soul. BWXE are worth the effort to understand”
