The music of We Are Hex recalls classic Joy Division, the Cure, Gang of Four, PJ Harvey and the Jesus and Mary Chain, but combines those sounds with the modern ferocity of Nashville Pussy or Ponytail, and yet accomplishes all of that without losing the pop sensibilities of the 50s and 60s, or the urgency of classic punk.

Indianapolis "echo-sleaze" three-piece, Burnt Ones are the first signees to MyOldKentuckyBlog.com's new record label, Roaring Colonel Records. The band blends glam, psych, garage, surf and 50's/60's girl pop into a lo-fi wash of rock. NUVO says, "Burnt Ones sound like the band at a 1960's zombie prom." In that same article, lead singer, Mark Tester explains the goal behind the new project, "Once you strip it down to the basics of what's good about rock and roll or pop music...that's what I'm interested in." says Tester. "I just want it to be simple.... that's when it's better." Under the fuzz and the the falsetto, that's what you'll find...simple, enjoyable, face-melting, pop/rock without pretension.
