Florida hardcore band Ex-Breathers’ new release, ExBx, is only 11 minutes long, but it’s hard not to be left out of breath by the time the 7″ is done spinning. These 12 tracks go off like flash paper, burning bright and evaporating before you know it. It’s a total blast, and should act as a nice little primer if you decide to come out and see them on tour, which you really should. Just from posting “Pocket” earlier this year I got an excited email from a reader telling me how much they loved the band, and how excited he was to see them gaining more attention. Those emails only come every once in a while, but with Ex-Breathers it makes sense — and after this release, the attention will multiply. Listen to the record and check out their dates below.
