Ex Hex is an American rock trio hailing from Washington, D.C., formed in 2013 by renowned singer and guitarist Mary Timony, who is known for her past endeavors with bands like Helium and Wild Flag. The lineup is rounded out by bassist Betsy Wright and drummer Laura Harris. They struck a chord in the indie music scene with their brand of vigorous and infectious power-pop-inflected rock music that draws inspiration from the classic era of rock while maintaining a fresh and contemporary edge.

Emerging with their debut album, "Rips," in 2014, the band was met with critical acclaim. The record delivered a razor-sharp collection of songs that harkened back to the raw energy of '70s rock and '80s power pop. Ex Hex's music is characterized by catchy riffs, anthemic choruses, and a relentless rhythm section. Following the success of "Rips," they released a single, "Hot and Cold" b/w "Waterfall" and "Everywhere," which continued to build their following. In 2019, the band dropped their second full-length album, "It's Real," which continued to solidify their position as a powerful force in the modern rock scene, proving that they could evolve without losing the vitality and dynamic punch of their initial outing. The album's release was accompanied by the single "It's Real / What Kind of Monster Are You?", showcasing their consistent knack for crafting hard-hitting and melody-driven rock tunes. With a reputation for thrilling live performances and a no-frills approach to music-making, Ex Hex has carved out a niche as purveyors of a timeless rock sound, resonating with fans eager for that perfect blend of nostalgia and contemporary edge.
