EXEK is an Australian post-punk band hailing from Melbourne, Victoria. With a sound that is both unique and captivating, they have carved out their own space in the music scene. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, EXEK's music combines elements of post-punk, new wave, and experimental rock.

Their distinctive sound has earned them comparisons to other notable artists such as Total Control, Low Life, and Eternal Dust. However, EXEK's music stands on its own with its haunting melodies, hypnotic rhythms, and thought-provoking lyrics.

Known for their mesmerizing live performances, *EXEK* creates an immersive experience for their audience. Their energy on stage is infectious and leaves fans wanting more. With each release, they continue to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories.

"A weird trip of a band…the second this was playing I was immediately hooked. I initially dove in because their name was attached to Mikey Young for mastering (I have a rule with Mikey…if he had his hands on it, it’s probably worth a listen). This band exceeds in all my trials. Esoteric nature, but oddly poppy and ready to prick up any ears out there. Deconstructed, but full of hooks. If I were a lazy man, and I am, I would say its for fans of PiL, but they transcend that pigeon-hole. Wonderful production lends its self to this unique LP. It seems as if the room expands and contracts throughout songs. Pulling away, then blocking your field of vision entirely. Wasteland Funk. Dub from the depths. Punk from the pit. Even the instrumentation is worth mentioning: Saxophone, Drums (and cut up drums), Guitar, Synthesizer, Vocals (poetry) and general fuckery all combine to make this a very interesting and worthwhile escape from the average. And thank the Gods for that right now. Inspired and desired by the active mind. A job well done by Eeek, and there’s new stuff brewing too... For fans of BEAK&gt;, Phantom Band, PIL &amp; general Jah Wobbleness, Magazine, Short wave radio, ESG and underground Kraut” - John Dwyer <a></a>credits
