You did me wrong so just admit it learned to play it smart stay on my pivot
And the streets so cold boy this shit wicked said you love me you don't love me so I Learned to keep my distance

Os X-Acto foram uma banda de hardcore punk, formada em Portugal em 1991, fazendo parte da cena hardcore de Lisboa. Terminaram em 1997, tornando-se na banda Sannyasin. Estes acabaram por terminar devido á morte do vocalista Rodrigo Barradas.

'''História'''

Começaram a tocar na Primavera de 1991 como uma banda vegetariana straight edge, com Pedro Mateus "Mano Pedro" no baixo, Diogo  Mateus "Mano Diogo" na bateria, João Pedro na guitarra e João Straight na voz. 
Passado algum tempo Pedro Dentes veio substituir João Straight na voz. Nessa altura deixaram de ser uma banda straight edge, devido à entrada do segundo guitarrista Libelinha, que não tinha nada a ver com straight edge. 
Em 1992 lançam uma split demo tape "Juntos contra a tourada", juntamente com as bandas Inkisição, Mentes Podres e Subcaos.

Em 1993, é lançado o EP "Change Now!" pela Slime Records, que compila as bandas Corrosão Caótica, Inkisição, Alcoore, Subcaos e X-Acto. Nesse EP vem a música "Inferno" dos X-Acto. Nesse mesmo ano gravam o seu primeiro CD, um split com a banda Inkisição "Inkisição/X-Acto Split CD". Mais tarde, em 1994, lançam o EP "Somos Uma Só Voz", o primeiro disco que não é um split.

1995 é um grande ano para a banda. É lançada a compilação "Força De Intervenção Vol.1" pela MDC, que compila o EP "Somos Uma Só Voz" dos X-Acto, com as bandas Alcoore e Human Beans. O vocalista Pedro Dentes e o guitarrista João Pedro saem dos X-Acto e são substituídos pelo vocalista Rodrigo Barradas, que se tornou straight edge, e pelo guitarrista Paulo Segadães "Paulo Sega". Lançam o CD "Harmony As One" pela Ataque Sonoro Records, o primeiro CD com letras em inglês, e com a participação do saxofonista Nuno nalgumas músicas.
Em 1996 a Our Voice Records lança o split No Violence/X-Acto. O guitarrista Libelinha sai da banda e é substituído por Ricardo.Tornam-se numa banda vegan straight edge. É lançado o CD "Benefit" um split com a banda Ignite. Joana, vocalista da banda Sight fez vocais na música "The Pace".

Em 1997 sai o seu último disco, o EP "The New Child" lançado pela Ataque Sonoro Records, considerado pela banda o seu disco preferido.

'''Sannyasin'''

Os X-Acto terminam e tornam-se nos Sannyasin, uma banda de curta duração, que lançou apenas uma demo tape, chamada "For Those Who Crucify Us" em 2001. A banda acabou por terminar com a morte do vocalista Rodrigo Barradas.

It's not my fault there is right and wrong
And there are kids growing smart and strong
Changing their lifes, ways and hearts
I want do what i can do maybe the problem lays inside you
I'm not the one who (still) lives in the past
It's time to move forward,
Let the ideas grow and breed
Reach a new level of knowledge,
Please let the new kids set the pace
We don't claim to have all the answers,
But there is so much more you can
Do, please keep your mind open,
Because we all need you
You say "veganism has no place here",
You say we're splitting up the scene
You say "the dance floor is to fight",
This is about improvement and respect,
And i think it's time to move ahead,
We can't afford to lose more time
It's time to move forward,
Let the ideas grow and breed
Reach a new level of knowledge,
Please let the new kids set the pace
We don't claim to have all the answers,
But there is so much more you can
Do, please keep your mind open,
Because we all need you
