They released the single "Where Do You Come from" [2] in June 2000 on Fierce Panda Records, and the EP single "Last Chance" in November 2000 on Food Records, under the moniker Tenner. [1] [3] [4] After recruiting a new drummer, they decided to change their name. The name X Is Loaded was chosen as an amalgamation of several ideas, but the real reason is known only to the band.

In November 2004 the band released the download-exclusive single "Racketeer". [9] [10]
X is Loaded disbanded in 2006. Afterward, however, the band released a posthumous single "Momentum Fails" in March 2007, [11] and a posthumous album Trench in April 2007, on Sugar Shack Records. [12]
