EXXASENS

EXXASENS is a post-rock/instrumental-rock/cosmic-rock band which started as a do-it-yourself project in 2007. The band has written six original albums, with their seventh studio album coming out this September 2022.

The group began as a project which officially became a band later in 2011 with the release of their third album, ELEVEN MILES. The EXXASENS sound is most closely defined as a mixture of many styles, where guitars with long echoes, spatial synthesizers, and well-defined and forceful rhythmic basses predominate. Throughout their music, influential bands such as Pink Floyd, U2, or The Cure and instrumental bands like Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai or more progressive like Porcupine Tree are apparent and help guide the music.

After setting their sound and establishing themselves as a band, they hit the road, touring around Spain, Europe, and Russia. They have performed numerous concerts at a national and European level, sharing the stage with influential bands within the genre such as Toundra (Spain), Maybeshewill (UK), 65daysofstatic (UK), Tides of Nebula (Poland), Sleepmakeswaves (Australia), Alright the Captain (UK), I'm waiting for your last summer (Russia) or The best Pessimist (Ukraine). They have also been at some of the most prestigious festivals at the European level, Astral Fest (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg), AMFest (Barcelona, Spain), Dunk! Festival (Belgium), Festival Cruïlla (Barcelona), Primavera Sound (Barcelona), Bilbao BBK Live (Bilbao),
ProgPower (Baarlo NL), Arctangent (Bristol, UK), as well as touring Europe and the UK on a couple of occasions and making sold-out venues such as La Sol in Madrid or Sala Apolo2 and Sala Bikini in Barcelona and having appeared in such prestigious magazines as Visions Germany, Prog! UK or Sound World.

High off of their touring success, things cooled down in 2016 as his founder, Jordi Ruiz, started another projects and needed to disconnect from the band. Later in 2019, Jordi reconnected and started writing music again, ultimately putting together the sixth album,REVOLUTION. As soon as they got ready to tour again all together, the COVID pandemic began, which threw a wrench in their reunion tour. As a result of this journey, Jordi has written and recorded their newest album, released on September 9, 2022. At the end of 2022 the band is renewed with 2 new members, Xavi Olmos on bass and Cristian Mira on drums and they leave the Oriols Planells (Drums), Sergio Ledesma (Sintetizadores) y Cesc Cespdes(bajo).
