Raw, atmospheric post-rock and the haunting beauty of classical Chinese melodies collide on “Another Day,“ the bold debut single from XIA-3. Listen HERE.

Centered around the guzheng, a traditional Chinese zither, XIA-3 is a groundbreaking trio led by award-winning virtuoso Jing Xia, with powerhouse support from well-established St. John’s punk rockers Ritche Perez (baritone guitar) and Brian Downton (drums). Kindred spirits eager to defy convention, XIA-3 reimagines ancient musical traditions to create electrifying East-meets-West soundscapes that seamlessly weave world music, metal, jazz, prog, experimental rock, and more. 

Borne of Jing Xia’s dream of blending her Chinese heritage with contemporary genres, XIA-3 embodies a dynamic and unexpected fusion of cultures and sounds. In this spirit, “Another Day” presents itself not just a song, but as a statement — a vision of what modern music can be when boundaries are shattered and new possibilities unfold.
