July 25, 2025 – Ithaca, NY – Alt-rock group X Ambassadors have released “Renegades (Rerecorded)”, a reexamination of the band’s 2015 breakout single. An unapologetic call to live boldly, “Renegades” launched X Ambassadors into the spotlight ahead of the release of their debut album VHS. This year they are excited to celebrate 10 years of the album with the release of VHS(X), a reimagined version of the hit record. VHS(X) will be released on August 29th and is available for pre-save/pre-order now here. Listen to “Renegades (Rerecorded)” here. Shares front man Sam Nelson Harris: “I didn’t think much of this song at first, I’ll be honest. After I sent it off to Alex the day I wrote it, I didn’t think about it at all. But over the years as I’ve witnessed how much it’s meant to so many people, and the doors it opened for me and the band, it’s grown on me. It’s come to represent something scrappy and authentic about who I am and who we are as a band. Unconventional, in a world of our own, and uniquely us.” In addition to the reimagined record, X Ambassadors will celebrate the 10th anniversary of VHS with the VHS(X) Tour. The North American headline run kicks off on September 2nd and includes two hometown shows in Ithaca, as well as stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Toronto, Brooklyn, Atlanta, and more. Tickets and VIP packages all upcoming dates are available now at xambassadors.com/tour. About X Ambassadors: X Ambassadors are a multi-platinum trio formed by Grammy award winning song-writer Sam Nelson Harris (vocals, guitar, saxophone, bass) and brother Casey Harris (piano, keys) while the pair were in high school in Ithaca, New York. Later joined by Adam Levin (drums) upon moving to Brooklyn, the trio have gone on to dominate the alternative charts over the last decade. Forming in 2007, the band exploded with the success of their debut album, VHS (2015). The Platinum- certified album provides an intimate look into the childhood of Sam and Casey, and features massive hit singles “Unsteady” and “Renegades”, which have over 1.6 billion streams on Spotify combined and led the band to a three-year world tour. VHS was followed by ORION (2019), the Belong EP (2020), The Beautiful Liar (2021) and (Eg) (2023), a series of collaborative singles featuring artists such as BRELAND, Teddy Swims & Jac Ross, Medium Build, and PAMÉ. In 2023 the band unveiled a new song, “Deep End,” which was written for and featured in the much-anticipated movie Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The track is just the latest contribution the band has made to major films following “Torches” (Transformers), “Great Unknown” (The Call of the Wild) and “Sucker for Pain” (Suicide Squad) among others. Outside of X Ambassadors, Sam Nelson Harris has had an eclectic career as a songwriter and producer for artists such as D4VD, 21 Savage, Rihanna, Lizzo, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, SZA, and Maren Morris. He has also collaborated with artists including Eminem, Jay-Z, Jacob Banks, K.Flay, grandson, The Knocks, Kygo, Illenium, and Machine Gun Kelly. Sam has played the world’s biggest music festivals, headlined countless nationwide and world tours, celebrated a #1 song at Alternative radio and multiple songs in the Top 10. He has recently begun releasing his own solo music for the first time under the name of Sam Nelson Harris. X Ambassadors returned last year with their new album Townie — an album that marks a compelling new chapter for the band as they return to their upstate New York roots. Across 12 deeply personal tracks, the group crafts an intricate portrait of their hometown’s most mundane aspects and the community that shaped them. In 2025 they are set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album VHS with the reimagined VHS(X). |
