We Are Hex - We Are The Goer

Every blog these days seems to be doubling as either an indie label, a PR firm, an A&R rep, a publicist, book/promoter of shows, etc. And it makes sense that the people so passionate and knowledgeable about the music industry that they go through the daily grind of blogging for little to no money would be the people most highly suited to carry out these other roles as well.

One of my faves, My Old Kentucky Blog, is now a label too. It's called Roaring Colonel Records (get it?), and they are about to put out the sophomore LP of Indianapolis' We Are Hex. Hail The Goer is due out August 3rd, and the title track is pretty sweet. It's got that 2 measures in 3 followed by a measure in 2 thing that keeps pushing the tempo while never giving the listener a chance to really settle in. It is one of my favorite qualities of music, and what I find so utterly appealing about odd meters used by bands like Soundgarden, The Toadies, and characterized nearly everything Dave Brubeck ever wrote.
