X Ambassadors

Originally recording and performing under the moniker Ambassadors, it wasn’t until singer-songwriter Sam Harris, keyboardist brother Casey Harris, and guitarist Noah Feldsuh all graduated from college, and moved to New York City that the band found success. In New York, Ambassadors also found drummer Adam Levin, who alongside the rest of the band crafted the debut output the EP “Ambassadors”, released in 2009. The record was led by the single “Tropisms” which later earned a music video and was supported by a tour alongside the likes of LIGHTS. The full-length album “Litost” was issued later that year, spawning the singles “Unconsolable” and “Litost”.

The single “Unconsolable” also made it on to the band’s “Love Songs Drug Songs” EP, which charted at No. 11 on the U.S. Heatseekers Chart in May 2013. The song and EP were later heard by popular rock band Imagine Dragons, who insisted that their label Interscope sign X Ambassadors, as they were now known. Following the release the band embarked on a national tour in support of Imagine Dragons, Jimmy Eat World, and The Mowglis. Also in 2013 the band was featured on Eminem’s “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” track “Wicked Ways”, and collaborated with Keljet on the single “Love of a Life”. X Ambassadors subsequently released the single “Jungle” alongside Jamie N Commons featuring Jay-Z, which was proceeded with “The Reason” EP in April 2014. Peaking at No. 7 on the U.S. Heatseekers Album Chart, the band supported the record opening fro Panic! at the Disco and Imagine Dragons.
