With the 2015 release of a debut full-length album “VHS,” Brooklyn, New York-based X Ambassadors has generated immense interest within the music community. The album spawned the group’s platinum single “Renegades” and double-platinum single “Unsteady.” “Renegades” was nominated for “Top Rock Song” at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, and “Unsteady” received the same nomination in 2017. X Ambassadors has conducted large-scale tours in North America and Europe. The band’s highly anticipated sophomore album is set for release soon. For more, see www.xambassadors.com.
