“The Nervous
Hex deliver guitar-driven euphoria… Rich in hypnotic layers of guitar,
splitting the difference between ‘80s college rock jangle and peak shoegaze.
It’s an aural feast for those who love the sound of indie rock guitars.” – Treble +++ The Nervous Hex S/T EP Out Now (Dead Stare) Streaming Link: STREAM FULL EP
[VIDEO]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBP8HGgooF8 [STREAM]: https://fanatic.lnk.to/TheNervousHex-PositiveFeedbackLoop +++ Check out the
premiere of “Positive Feedback Loop” by The Nervous Hex at Ghettoblaster
Magazine or the links above! “Thurston Moore
of Sonic Youth said that Today
by Galaxie 500 was ‘the guitar album
of 1988,’” says Ryan Traster of The Nervous Hex. “It made me want to
take a stab at making the second best guitar album of 1988.” Of “Positive
Feedback Loop,” the closing track on the band’s debut EP, out Nov. 5th, the band’s Dylan Shultz says, “Dead bored after
another in a long line of disappointing nights out, I stumbled across a strange
inverted chord that built into a hazy, driving progression which matched my
frustration. “The melody hit right, but the first lyrical swing was
more of the same bummer stuff I’d been writing, so I asked myself, ‘why
bother?’ The little thought experiment spun into me trying to encourage my
younger self to try again after a big bad ole breakup. Long story short, can’t
win if you don’t risk losing... again.” +++ PLAY, POST & SHARE The Nervous Hex | “Wash”
[VIDEO]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1OEd_8FENQ [STREAM]: https://Fanatic.lnk.to/TheNervousHex-Wash +++ “Revolution lies behind your eyes. /
Stop looking towards the sky.” “Sonically,I
was in a deep Shoegaze rabbit hole for this one,” says Ryan Traster of The Nervous
Hex about “Wash.” “It was during
a particularly rainy winter in Portland, and I was messing around with a lot of
textures and weirdo tunings and stuff. “Lyrically, I wanted to explore the idea of looking
inward to spark revolution, whether that be a personal revolution, cultural
revolution, or both. Side-stepping the notion that there is going to be a
savior that swoops in and really changes things.” +++ The Nervous
Hex | About
“Thurston Moore
of Sonic Youth said that Today
by Galaxie 500 was ‘the guitar album
of 1988,’” says Ryan Traster of The Nervous Hex. “It made me want to
take a stab at making the second best guitar album of 1988.” The Nervous
Hex will release the first rumblings
of this worthwhile endeavor on Nov. 5th
with its self-titled four-song debut EP via Dead Stare. Hear
the lead track “Wash” now. Based on both coasts – Traster (Guitar/Vocals) is in Southern California, Corey Zaloom (Bass, Vocals) and Dylan Schultz (Guitar, Vocals) are in
Brooklyn – The Nervous Hex brings
together three successful longtime DIY-ers. Traster has numerous solo albums album to his credit, in
addition to his stint with Midwestern Emo heroes Small Towns Burn A Little Slower (Triple Crown / Rise Records),
and Zaloom and Schultz have variously performed with artists such as A Bunch of Dead People, Swampboots, Riverwild, Galaxy Queens,
and Tourmaline. The members of The
Nervous Hex are also old friends and former bandmates, reconvening in a new
formation to find a new sound. Along with the pursuit of 1988’s guitar album
silver medal per the Thurston / Galaxie quote above, the songs on “The Nervous Hex EP” also give off
potent late 80s / early 90s, Hoboken / Yo
La Tengo / Feelies vibes. Or, as the band’s mix engineer Joe McGrath (Morrissey, Green Day, Velocity Girl) viscerally describes, “It feels like I missed the
last PATH train, so I had to sleep in the Hoboken terminal.” Despite the distance, “The Nervous Hex EP” is meant to “announce this band into
existence,” according to Traster, as
the trio is already working on new music and plans for touring in 2022. The self-titled debut EP by The Nervous Hex is scheduled for release on Nov. 5th, 2021 on Dead
Stare. +++ The Nervous Hex | Links INSTAGRAM : BANDCAMP : DEAD STARE +++ Josh Bloom at Fanatic
