The music of We Are Hex recalls classic Joy Division, the Cure, Killing Joke and PJ Harvey, but combines those sounds with the modern ferocity of the Liars or Grinderman, without losing the urgency of classic punk. We Are Hex came together in 2008 and moved into a foul Indianapolis neighborhood where they locked themselves away in their studio space, dubbed the Hex Haus. In the spring of 2009, the band released their self-recorded debut full-length, Gloom Bloom, to positive reviews. After a summer of touring, they returned to the Hex Haus to create a new, very different record.
