ABOUT HEXES & OHS


“… Lam and Donnelly delight throughout by introducing bittersweet boy/girl harmonies into the slippery mix of post-punk thud, newfangled dancefloor electronics and unapologetic pop savvy pioneered years ago by ancestors such as New Order and Depeche Mode.” - Toronto Star


Meet Hexes & Ohs. The story of this electro-pop duo begins with a pair of high school sweethearts and spans years of couple-hood and musical projects. the duo’s debut release “Goodbye Friend, Welcome Lover” reached the #2 position on the Canadian campus radio charts, remaining in the top 10 for several months and CBC Radio 3 named the album’s “Whadaya Know?” one of their top 50 singles of the year.


Since the release of “Goodbye Friend, Welcome Lover,” the album has taken Hexes & Ohs to places they never expected. Hexes & Ohs has played CMJ, Pop Montreal, CMW, NXNE, Halifax Pop Explosion, and Osheaga and has opened for Mates of State, Sloan, Kid Koala, Au Revoir Simone, Tokyo Police Club, and Most Serene Republic. “Bedroom Madness,” the second album by Hexes & Ohs was produced by Byron Wong (The Crystal Method, David Usher), and is sure to bring the duo new levels of success.

Blasfemea
Galaxia Tropicalia

(La Lisbonera)
Release Date:
4/13/2010

MP3: “Maria” | Video: “Maria”

+++

In 2009, a European group with a danceable sound took America by storm. The lyrics were romantic, the synthesizers were bright, and the guitars shimmered. The music was at the intersection of sound and style, and once it reached these shores, it was unstoppable. We’re talking about Phoenix, but next year we might be saying the same things about the Lisbon, Portugal-based band, Blasfemea. These four talented Portuguese musicians -- Tiago Amaro, Fabio Jevelim (vocals and guitars) & the Lourenço brothers (David and Rui on drums and bass) -- are the darlings of the Lisbon pop underground and now they're ready to make their mark in the United States.

Consider “Maria“, the first single and video from the new Blasfemea album, Galaxia Tropicalia. It’s a swirl of oscillating synth, angular guitar, irresistible beats, pop sweetness and punk attitude -- it’s a welcome blast of heat from sunny Portugal and, like all the tracks on Blasfemea’s gripping debut, it’s named after a girl. Blasfemea’s casual confidence is also apparent in every frame of David Francisco and Maria João Carvalho’s vibrant video for “Maria,” too as Blasfemea are naturals in front of the camera -- good-looking, sharply-dressed, and looking the part of international pop stars.

The New Loud
“Heaven” Maxi Single

+++

“Heaven” is the new maxi-single and video from “Can’t Stop Not Knowing”, the current EP by Milwaukee-band, The New Loud. The track listing for the release features the single version of “Heaven” (MP3) mixed by Mark Trombino (Jimmy Eat World , Rilo Kiley, Drive Like Jehu) alongside remixes by dub legend Mad Professor (MP3). “Heaven” is available now digitally and as a limited edition clear vinyl 12-inch available exclusively through the band’s webstore HERE.


A video for “Heaven” has also been released (VIDEO), and continues The New Loud’s collaboration with director / “Funny or Die” writer and producer, Jack Packard. In the video for “Heaven”, The New Loud literally gets face to face with the viewer. Through use of slow-motion long portraits, Packard takes his subjects past the point of their ‘camera faces’ in order to find true expression and real emotion. Shot on location throughout Milwaukee and Chicago, the video assembles a cast of fellow musicians, local actors as well as some of the band’s friends and fans. Live band footage was shot at Milwaukee’s historic Turner Hall Ballroom. Look out for The New Loud’s full-length album, Measures Melt, coming this summer.
