East Bay noise rockers XBXRX released their new album, Wars, today on on Polyvinyl Records. The entire album can be streamed now on MP3.com. The band also announced a video contest open to you, the fans:

“In an effort to keep fans involved in their music as much as possible, xbxrx are having a video contest for “Center Where Sight”, a song from their new album Wars. Fans are encouraged to submit videos for the song and the winners will be judged by the band, along with Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu, Matmos, and Jenny Hoyston from Erase Errata.

Though they can’t guarantee its condition, the first prize winner will receive the guitar used on the Wars tour (see dates below) as well as a poster and sticker. Second and third place winners will receive a copy of Wars and a guest list spot when the band plays their town. Entries will start being accepted now until May 22nd. Winners will be announced on June 10th.

Submissions can be made by email – xbxrxvideo@yahoo.com – or post office (DVDR is preferable) at:
