History Is What’s Happening Ex, The SKU: EX008 19.00 £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: The Ex Released Date: 25th September 2020 Buying Format: 1LP Includes Poster Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Originally released in 1982, History Is What’s Happening features one of the most harrowing title/cover art combinations in recent memory. What at first glance looks like a firing squad is, upon closer inspection, a concentration camp orchestra. On their second album, The Ex advance into a distinctly more post-punk style: textural guitar shards and tumbling motorik drumming with Bas Masbeck’s thunderous bass shouldering much of the melodic load. These twenty songs are a quick-moving and caustic trip, a DIY studio rendition of the band’s explosive live set from this era. History Is What’s Happening remains an important signpost in the history of both Ex-evolution and the cataclysmic ’80s. With their sophomore LP, the group would put Holland on the underground music map. Indeed, many now-lifelong fans around the world were just beginning to take notice and get down with the mighty Ex. This first-time vinyl reissue comes with 23″ x 16″ poster and 24-page booklet.
