THE EX – history is what´s happening (us-version)

Re-Issue des wegweisenden, zweiten Album inkl. 24-seitiges Booklet. Ursprünglich 1982 auf More DPN veröffentlicht. On their second album, The Ex advance into a distinctly more post-punk style: textural guitar shards and tumbling motorik drumming with Bas Masbeck’s thunderous bass shouldering much of the melodic load. Railing against political duplicity and the illusory nature of “freedom” in an age of manufactured consent, G.W. Sok offers some of punk’s most bracing and memorable agit-prop lyrics. These twenty songs are a quick-moving and caustic trip, a DIY studio rendition of the band’s explosive live set from this era. * Superior Viaduct
