The London-based indie-rock trio met each other as teens – at the same school that produced Hot Chip and Pierce Brosnan.

And just like Goldeneye, they peaked early, winning the Mercury Prize with their debut album, xx, which sold 2.7 million albums.

You’ve heard their music as it’s been used extensively as background music on a wide range of programs including Grey’s Anatomy, Misfits and Top Gear, as well as sports coverage.

Touring to promote their third studio album, I See You, there’s little not to like about The xx, other than their lower case name. Big kisses or no-nos, you decide.
