The Exies are a rock band from Los Angeles, California that was formed in 1997. Their name, "The Exies," is short for "The Existentialists." Their two Virgin Records releases, Inertia (2003) and Head for the Door (2004), have sold over 400,000 copies combined. The band released their self-titled debut album in 2000 on Ultimatum Records. Many fans of the band have described this album as perhaps The Exies' best work. Afterwards the band signed to Virgin Records and in January 2003 they released their second album, Inertia. The album received wide distribution, and their first single, "My Goddess", received a fair amount of radio play and was featured in the Playstation 2 game, Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild. Also, the song "Without" was featured on the soundtrack for EA Sports MVP Baseball 2003. Their third album Head for the Door was released on December 1, 2004. The album's first single, "Ugly", was used by World Wrestling Entertainment as the theme song for that year's Survivor Series 2004 pay-per-view event in November 2004, and was featured on a commercial for the WB television network. The Song "Slow Drain" was featured on the video game NFL Street which was released on the Xbox and Playstation 2 consoles. The band promoted the album by opening for Velvet Revolver on their first arena tour. Along with Sum 41 and Silvertide, The Exies supported Motley Crue on their massively successful Carnival of Sin Tour. The tour was one of 2005's biggest success stories and exposed the band to an entirely new audience. Their second single off Head for the Door, "Hey You", is part of the PlayStation 2 video game, Guitar Hero, released in 2005. It is now also part of the Xbox 360 game Guitar Hero II via download through Xbox Live. After returning from the tour with Mötley Crüe, the band along with the executives at Virgin Records decided that the band was not worth keeping on the label, and they parted ways. Soon after this, Dennis Wolfe and David Walsh left the band to pursue other goals. This left Scott and Freddy alone to fend for themselves. While both contemplated quitting the band as well, they decided to reunite along with Chris Skane (a former guitarist from one of the early incarnations of The Exies) and began writing songs as friends, not as a business. On May 26, 2006, the band announced on its blog that they were going back to the studio to work on their fourth album with producer James Michael. The new album (named "A Modern Way of Living with the Truth") was released May 15, 2007 by Eleven Seven Music, their new label. On December 7, 2006, the song "Slow Drain" featured in Full Auto 2, released in the PS3 version. To promote their forthcoming album the band is touring with Buckcherry and Three Days Grace. Later this year they are set to tour with Smile Empty Soul. Five songs have been released thus far from the upcoming "A Modern Way of Living with the Truth" album: "Different Than You," "Once in a Lifetime," "These Are The Days," "This Is The Sound," and "A Fear Of Being Alone."
