Our Album of the Day for the 21st of May is the thrilling self titled debut album by HEXE<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HEXE<\/em><\/strong>, a trio comprising of father-son team Paul and Izaak Garner, alongside lead guitar\/vocalist Reuben St Ledger, are the perfect band to find old school grunge riffs backed by Grohl-esque drums. Upping the pace from Monday’s Album Of The Day<\/a>, HEXE will boost you through the slog of Tuesday with high energy tunes and distorted alt-rock guitar that is impossible not to nod your head to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hailing from Sheffield, the band was initially just a duo when it first formed in 2014, before Izaak recruited his father Paul, who had been in support bands for the likes of Pulp<\/em><\/strong> and Buzzcocks<\/em><\/strong>, to play bass in 2018. The band takes large inspiration from artists such as Nirvana, Pixies and Electric Six<\/em><\/strong>, and this shines through proudly in a number of songs such as Common Thief <\/em>and Desert Sand<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recording 90% of the record in an attic, which in itself is an impressive feat, this self-made effort was a 10 year labour of love and the results are undeniable; they launched the album to a sell out show at Sheffield’s Hallamshire hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standout track from the album is undeniably Frogman<\/em>, which features Dick Valentine, lead singer of the aforementioned Electric Six. Never meet your heroes? No, make music with them instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
