X Ambassadors: A Pop Rock Powerhouse From Ithaca

X Ambassadors, often stylized as XA, is an American pop rock band hailing from Ithaca, New York. The trio consists of lead vocalist Sam Harris, keyboardist Casey Harris, and drummer Adam Levin. Adding to their live sound, guitarist and bassist Russ Flynn joins them on tour.

Known for their anthemic tunes, X Ambassadors have carved a niche in the pop rock landscape with hits like "Jungle," "Renegades," and "Unsteady." These tracks have become staples on radio and streaming platforms, showcasing the band's blend of infectious melodies and powerful vocals.

Their musical journey began in 2009, performing under the name "Ambassadors." Early in their career, they shared the stage with acts like LIGHTS and self-released their debut EP, aptly titled "Ambassadors EP." The lead single, "Tropisms," was given a visual treatment with a music video directed by Rodrigo Zedillo.

Following the success of their debut EP, X Ambassadors dropped their second EP, "Litost." This release featured the namesake song, "Litost," which found its way into the soundtrack of the film "The Host."

Their consistent efforts caught the attention of SONGS Music Publishing, who signed the band to a record deal in 2012, marking a pivotal moment in their career trajectory.

X Ambassadors have since released four albums: "VHS" (2015), "Orion" (2019), "The Beautiful Liar" (2021), and "Townie" (2024). Each album has showcased their evolution, pushing boundaries while staying true to their pop rock roots.

With their distinctive sound and captivating performances, X Ambassadors continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, solidifying their place as a prominent force in contemporary music.
