VHS by X Ambassadors
VHS is an album by X Ambassadors, released in 2015. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 21 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Renegades”, on 21 lists and voted number one twice.
VHS, the first full-length album from Ithaca, New York's X Ambassadors, came out on June 30, 2015, through KIDinaKORNER and Interscope Records, with Alex da Kid producing. It followed two major-label EPs, Love Songs Drug Songs and The Reason, and the latter had already given the album its lead single, "Jungle", with Jamie N. Commons.
This is pop rock built for stadiums: stomping drums from Adam Levin, Casey Harris's keyboards, and Sam Harris's big, raspy, gospel-tinged voice pushing every chorus up to the rafters. "Renegades" is the one that caught fire, a handclapping, wide-open anthem, and "Unsteady" and "Low Life" followed it out as singles. It's also the only X Ambassadors album with lead guitarist Noah Feldshuh, who went on an open-ended hiatus in 2016.
