"xKILL EVERYONEx was a Straight Edge band from the Windsor/Detroit area, formed by a group of close friends who wanted to write hardcore that was harder, faster, and more pissed off than anything we had ever done. We felt at the time that there weren't many straight edge bands that were really laying shit on the line about how angry they were, and what straight edge truly meant. There were a lot of edge bands with positive messages, and with themes of unity and family. There were some who although they were edge didn't even have straight edge lyrics... which is fine, but we wanted to do things a little differently. We had a lot of hatred that needed to be expressed.

I was the guitar player in our last band and Ozzy was the singer. He had a great voice, and I was a much better guitarist then him, but I wanted to be the vocalist because I had written so many things that I wanted to say, and I wanted to say them to a room full of pissed of kids who felt the same way - kids who were as proud of their edge as I was. We agreed that Ozzy would play guitar and that I would do vocals. Pat was one of the angriest and proudest straight edge kids we knew. He was a good friend to both of us, and not the kind of person who says "I'm drug free but I don't claim", or any of that shit. He was like us. He x'd up because he was drug free for life and he know he wasn't backing down. It wasn't even like we had to ask him to play drums. He just simply was.

Jake took more convincing because he had just quit a band and he was tired of all the band bullshit. But this band was different. We weren't trying to get noticed, or get big. Or go on the road, or even make money. Our only goal was to be in an entirely straight band of close friends. Not even musicians necessarily. I wanted him to be our second guitarist based on our friendship alone. He agreed. By the time we snagged John from xTyrantx we knew the lineup was complete. John was a fireball onstage and his commitment to straight edge was no joke. It was prefect.

We got together a few times a week for a year or so and wrote a handful of songs. The result was a 6 song EP that has been posted for free download. xKILL EVERYONEx has been broken up for a while now but the music lives on. We are all still good friends. And we are all still straight edge. As we will continue to be. Some of us have moved on to other bands, some of us have moved on to other things. But that bond still holds strong."
