XO Stereo is an American rock band from Los Angeles, CA. The band was formed in 2013 by ex-members of From First To Last, LoveHateHero, and The Hollowed and consists of lead vocalist / drummer Cooper Campbell, guitarist / keyboardist Justin Whitesel, and guitarist / bassist Jon Weisberg. The group is currently signed to Another Century Records and have released one EP entitled The Struggle. The group is known for the members past projects and the fact that each member plays multiple instruments in the band’s recording process, allowing them to stay a three-piece band.
The band was formed by guitarist Justin Whitesel after finishing a tour with Eyes Set To Kill. He wrote multiple songs, even employing the help of longtime friend and colleague Jinxx of Black Veil Brides fame to help with recording duties. Whitesel then went on to enlist Cooper Campbell for all vocal and drum duties and Jon Weisberg, formerly of From First to Last, for all bass and additional guitar duties.
On August 26, 2013 the band released their first single and accompanying music video for the song Show And Tell. They hired session members to fill the roles of rhythm guitar and drum duties, as Campbell would be unable to front the band as the singer and play the drums at the same time. The song was met with primarily positive reviews and even got them a feature in Substream Magazine's Top Unsigned Bands.
In September 2014, longtime friend (and former LoveHateHero bandmate) Kevin Thrasher of Escape The Fate asked the group if they’d be interested in playing their first show with them at The Glasshouse in Pomona, CA. The band agree’d and decided to employ Ronnie Ficarro (ex: Falling In Reverse) for and Justin McCarthy (ex: I Am Ghost) for all bass and drum duties, respectively.
