From their 1992 EP Rock All Over You : "The perfect marriage of muscle and melody, power and pop sensibility. Tunes to bang your head and tap your foot in equal measure. In short, unashamed radio music at a time when radio has become almost a swearword. Two brothers, one purpose ! To put British rock back on top in the manner achieved in the early eighties by the likes of Def Leppard, Whitesnake and their kind."

XL evolved into UK AOR / Melodic Rock band Freefall, which then itself evolved, with the addition of Nick Workman into the UK AOR / Melodic Rock band Kick.
