Xxxx is the third full-length album by Canadian dance-punk band You Say Party (formerly You Say Party! We Say Die!), released September 29, 2009. It was the last release featuring the band's original longer name and the last album with drummer Devon Clifford (who died in April 2010).
In addition to the album's title, the word "XXXX" also appears in several of the album's song titles. In each song, the four Xs represent the word "love".[3] In an interview with CBC Radio 3, the band's vocalist Becky Ninkovic explained that when finalizing the cover art for the band's first EP Dansk Wad, she had wanted to leave a personal "mark of love" on it, and settled on signing it with four small Xs.
The album was a longlisted nominee for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize.[4]
