British, loud and witty. Xara Griffiths is taking the music world by storm a with the release of her second album The Devil Calls. In the past month the unconventional music of the soloist has conquered the states and is now tackling our shores. Origionally from San franscico, Xara started out making music with her band ‘The Boy will Drown’. They gained some recogni-tion withing the state but didn’t get much further.

Her earlier stuff is a similar style to her old band but where they failed she smashed it .“I remeber my parents telling me to focus on what I loved, and not to let the split phase me’ says Xara“ I just didn’t care about anything but the music”.
