Tallahassee, FL’s Ex-Breathers will be heading out on a short March tour run to SXSW, in support of their new EP EXBX, out via Texas is Funny. Stream the EP on Bandcamp here.

EXBX is a brash, chaotic, and explosive 12 tracks that roar by in just under 12 minutes. It’s safe to say the hardcore/punk trio is wasting no time. Every last twist and turn of their punk meets math rock meets hardcore sound is well crafted and delivered with an enormous fury and destructive perfection. This is not your typical hardcore band. Ex-Breathers are far more than that and EXBX is a dynamic record with skull crushing riffs that demand repeat listening. The EP was released in the Fall of 2014 via Texas Is Funny Records (Hawks (of Holy Rosary), Glish, Vetter Kids). EXBX is the follow up to the band’s triumphantly harsh self released full length debut Collision.

Ex-Breathers are a band that truly needs to be seen live. Having formed in early 2011, and sharing influences of hardworking punk luminaries Minutemen, Fugazi, and Husker Du, the trio have played well over 200 shows in the past few years throughout the country including packed audiences at The Fest and Macrock Festival. There is a great DIY scene of punk bands emerging from Tallahassee, and Ex-Breathers are leading the way, one blistering riff at a time.
