The Ex recently announced some details on their upcoming singles collection. The band described the package:
23 songs from the period 1980-1990, a full-hour of music, which includes 'Human Car,' 'Rock'n'Roll-Stoel,' 'Stupid Americans,' 'Weapons for El Salvador,' 'Gonna Rob The Spermbank,' 'Lied der Steinklopfer,' 'Keep On Hoppin'' and 'The Rara Rap.'
The band released Turn last year. The compilation is expected this summer via Touch and Go in the US, Ex Records in Holland and Vicious Circle in France. For those unfamiliar with the dutch band, the band's label had this to say:
After their start in 1979 in the heydays of punk's first wave, The Ex developed over the years into a melting pot of divergent musical styles. Noise, jazz, improvisation, and ethnic music have been interweaved under one unique umbrella: Ex-music. Discordant, highly rhythmic guitars and the rolling, almost African drumming style give the music of The Ex its special character.
