Who knows something from Michigan?
Yes, I couldn't think of much either.
THE HEX BOMBS come from Michigan. They have been making music for over seven years and are very active on the boards that mean the world. However, the band still doesn't really have a large fan base, especially not in Europe.
Since July 2013, the band has released a 7" vinyl with Mike McColgan from The Street Dogs, which has done the band a lot of good. Suddenly, they were noticed by the press, and the 7" was also deemed quite good.
And what do you do when people suddenly like something? You follow it up. That's how the market works. Everywhere! It's not a bad thing; if I like the beer at the bar, I order another. Thus, it came to pass that the label East Grand Records from Michigan put together a Best-Of of THE HEX BOMBS. This Best-Of includes songs from all phases of the band's work and gives a good overview of what THE HEX BOMBS have been up to in the last seven years.
The band from Michigan has dedicated itself since its founding to melodic punk rock with a garage influence (older phase) and melody or skate-core influence (newer phase). The vocals are pleasantly rough, very fitting to the music, and the melodies are catchy. This doesn't generally set the band apart much from the usual suspects from the USA, but if you've grown tired of those usual suspects, you should give THE HEX BOMBS a chance!
The release is only available digitally!
