Question 1234: But obvious

Obscure knowledge time!
Okay, today's question is extremely trivial to say the least. Though, it has a certain cryptic element(which is given before the question starts) which might give away the answer right away. Try to look for this certain element. Cheers!

 The question:
The X's are an all-female Japanese rock trio, whose music has shades of American surf music, rockabilly and garage rock. They are mostly known for covering American rock and roll songs. The trio is based in Tokyo.

This awesome threesome had a cameo appearance in the film Kill Bill Volume 1. This cameo appearance was responsible for making them famous in the west. According to Kill Bill's director Quentin Tarantino, he discovered the trio's music after hearing it in an urban clothing store in Tokyo, hours before going to the airport. One of their songs was also featured in the The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift soundtrack. They also became renowned for the use of one of their cover songs in commercials for brands such as Carling lager and Vonage VoIP service.


 Identify X. (For brownies, also the "cryptic element")
Answer: X: The 5.6.7.8's. The cryptic hint being that this question was #1234.

The 5.6.7.8's

And for the brownie:

This question --> 1234 - 5678 <-- the Trio

You really shouldn't have given that hint that its before the question starts. Too easy because of that.

The 5.6.7.8's is the band you're looking for.(X)
Also the question number is 1234. The sequence 12345678 might make the question a little obvious and 1234 is a 'cryptic clue' to 5678's.
