Ex Hex

Ex Hex shared their latest album, It's Real, via Merge Records in March. The power trio's commitment to larger-than-life riffs and unforgettable hooks remain intact, but the garage-y, post-punk approach that defined their debut release, Rips, has grown in scale and ambition. Ex Hex were already one of America's best guitar bands - but on It's Real, their musical savvy has thrillingly combined with anything-goes curiosity, studio experimentation, and a dedication to refinement, resulting in an album that's ready to be played at maximum volume.
