Hex Records has announced some of their plans for the new year. The label is celebrating their 10th anniversary with a variety of releases. As reported earlier, the label is planning a handful of seven inch releases from Lemuria, Helmes Alee and End of a Year. They have also signed four new bands.

Syracuse, NY-based Oak & Bone and Night Owls. The former combines "crusty and mean hardcore with doses of 70's metal" sounding like "Unsane and Queens of the Stone Age." You can find some music here. Night Owls is described simply as "hardcore rock" and you can download their demo here.
