XLP was a London band that put out a few singles in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Their most notable track is probably 'I Hate The Love Songs That You Play,' which came out in 2009. The song's title gives a pretty clear sense of its mood.
Their sound had a straightforward rock energy, and they released a handful of other singles like 'All I Want Is You' and 'Forever Together' over the next few years. The lyrics often leaned into direct, emotional territory, which seemed to be their main focus.
They didn't stick around for a particularly long run, but that one song from 2009 managed to catch some attention at the time for its blunt take on pop sentiment.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
