Formed in Manhattan in the summer of 2009, Xombie’s current line-up wasn’t solidified until about a full year later, but that didn’t stop them from moving ahead quickly. Immediately the band began writing material and would hit Nada Studios in New Windsor, NY and record their debut, self-titled album. With the help of producer and engineers John Naclario and Eric Castillo (My Chemical Romance, The Ataris), Xombie self-released their debut in in 2010 and surprisingly with a follow up with their sophomore release, Swaggaholix, less than a year later. Check this cool, free download of their version of 50 Cent’s “In Da Club”.
