Zex - Eternal Torment



  Forming in 2014 and hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, Zex feature a line up of Gab Hole (bass), Mark Useless (drums), Gretchen Steel (vocals) and Jo Capitalicide (guitar). They've released a couple of albums and half a dozen singles (including this one :   https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/05/zex-child-soldier.html). And now they're gearing up to unleash album number 3, It's out in a couple of weeks and will be titled Execute. If you're in Europe you can order it from Plastic Bomb https://www.plasticbombshop.de/Gesamtliste-Musik/PB-Releases/Zex-Execute-Lp-MP3::23347.html or Cortex https://coretexrecords.com/ZEX-execute-PRE-ORDER. It's also up for preorder on Bandcamp https://zexzexzex.bandcamp.com/album/execute

  In support of the album they've a European tour planned for August and you can find dates here :   https://www.facebook.com/zexzexzexofficial/

  They've already previewed a couple of songs, there's an video for Firepower   (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CL4eGArkQU) whilst teaser song number 2 can be found below.

  Attracting comparisons with classic bands like Avengers, Runaways, Girlschool etc as well as several of classic 80's label Riot City Records' roster they write songs that are both personal and political. Going off the evidence presented so far, there's no reason to think Execute will be any less impressive than previous releases. This is Eternal Torment...
