EX-CULT are a Memphis-based punk cyclone,
releasing batches of bruising records and laying waste to everywhere they play.
Chris Shaw lends a sneering, spitting toughness to the proceedings while the
band flays riffs in loose, hairy mosh inducing menace behind him, touching on
post-punk, psych sprawl, and early 80’s hardcore while remaining beholden to
none. They have the power to convert even the most jaded and bored concertgoer
into a sweaty mess in the pit. Having released two albums of adrenal-enhancing
sluggers through Goner Records, last year saw Ex-Cult releasing ‘Negative
Growth’ on In The Red. This collection of songs were conceived
in Memphis and finalized in Los Angeles, with the help of family doctor Ty
Segall. It was created in February 2016, when the band traded Memphis misery
for a week of California sunshine. ‘Negative Growth’ is a nine-track nightmare,
a death trip in the crystal ship and dedicated to fear and deception.
