Vex

There are eight artists by the name of Vex. 1) Vex hailed from South East London / north west kent area and formed in the very early eighties, the 'Sanctuary' 12" and 'It's no crime' on the Mortarhate compalation 'Who?What?Why?When?Where?' were their only releases.
Sanctuary was issued on Fight Back, a sublabel of Mortarhate, run by the people of Conflict. Vex also played gigs with Conflict, so they were more associated with the anarchist punk scene than the Batcave fair. But contrary to most anarcho-punk bands from that time, they were not influenced by CRASS or Conflict.

Congo Faith Healers

The Congo Faith Healers are like nothing you have heard or experienced before. Combining gravel throated vocals with down and dirty grooves they are currently blazing a trail across the land with their intense and utterly compelling live shows. Falling somewhere between Tom Waits, Led Zepplin and something straight out of a David Lynch movie CFH are that truly unique beast: a band that blend their collective influences to create something totally fresh and exhilarating.
