A lot of Valley residents are ditching the desert as of late, and are heading up north to places like Portland or Seattle. On Tuesday, August 11, a little piece of the Emerald City will be storming through Phoenix to show us why.

X-Ray Press is a high-energy, guitar-powered, progressive-rock-punk band built of for alumni from the Cornish College of the Arts.

The Pitch - X-Ray Press

The self-described "Happy Hardcore" group is embarking on their West Coast tour that happens to make a non-coastal jaunt over to the Ruby Room and Tucson before returning to the waters of the Pacific.

X-Ray Press will be playing tracks from their debut EP brkn type as well as selections from their forthcoming first full-length album; the name of which is currently a big secret.

X-Ray Press will be performing along side local acts Skinwalkers and Teejay Sundance.

Let's hope they don't end up taking more Arizona hipsters back to Seattle!
