The Xray5

The XRAY5 is a post-punk / darkwave project from Los Angeles, led by Ray X, who drives the project’s vocals, synth, rhythm guitar, and creative direction. Drawing inspiration from Bauhaus, Joy Division, and Echo & The Bunnymen, The XRAY5 blends dark melodies, pulsing rhythms, and a brooding cinematic atmosphere. Now part of the Darkwave Records roster, The XRAY5 has become a rising name in LA’s post-punk community and continues to grow its audience across Latin America and Europe. Following the 2023 release of Elegy (Hush Ltd.), the project has pushed into a new era—releasing new material through Darkwave Records and delivering immersive live performances that channel both modern darkwave and classic post-punk energy.
