HEXES - WHITE NOISE / BLACK SOUND

Rating: 8

After numerous tours and an EP, the long-awaited debut album from Hexes is finally here. Sonically, the 12 songs on the album sound like portions of the Dischord Records back catalogue mixed with ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come’ and coloured with a splash of San Diego heroes Antioch Arrow and Heroin . Acting as a balance, there are subtle degrees of melody and pop nous lurking in the shadows to perforate the caustic distortion but overall, ‘White Noise / Black Sound’ snarls. It is brattish, confrontational, deeply anti-social and a knowingly unrefined hybrid of punk, rock ‘n‘ roll and post-hardcore. Rock Sound loves it.
