XIAO is a hardcore band from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 2019. Rooted in hardcore punk and heavily influenced by powerviolence, the band blends blast beats, d-beat, chaotic noise and crushing breakdowns into an intense sound. Known for their aggressive live shows and politically charged lyrics, XIAO channels frustration, urgency and anger into fast, abrasive songs that balance raw violence with memorable punk-driven riffs. Calling themselves “Sweden’s hardcore band” , they have built a reputation through extensive touring across Europe, the UK and the US.
