The Ex

Dutch anarchist ensemble formed in 1979 in the Netherlands.

"The Ex has developed over the years into a melting-pot of diverse musical styles: noise, rock, jazz, improvisation, and ethnic musics have been interweaved under one unique umbrella: "Ex-music". Discordant, highly rhythmic guitars, the rolling, almost African drumming style, and the intense delivery of the often ironic lyrics give the music of The Ex its special character."

Their 7" release '1936 - The Spanish Revolution' was a Top 10 hit in the Independent Singles Chart.
