Happy Wednesday, comrades! We’ve got a pretty cool split 12″ to debut for you this fine January day, courtesy of your friends (and ours!) at Hex Records! It’s the latest in a series of Hex Records splits that pair up bands that aren’t necessarily directly part of the label but that are pretty awesome and exciting nonetheless. Today’s installment is probably the best one yet!
First up is Brain Cave, the Cleveland-based post-hardcore trio. Their sound is described as “blurring the line between all-out aggression and a dedication to songcraft, melody, and riffs.” Their four tracks are backed by four more from Baltimore’s own Knub. Seriously, this is one for those of you who dig that 90’s noise rock sound. Mind you, the vinyl is a pretty cool clear/rainbow-splatter deal. You can order your very own copy here, and check out the full split below, a full two days before the 1/20/23 release date!
