Vex - Demo, 12" ep + Live shows

Add caption

Vex were from London and were apart of the Anarcho-Punk scene in the early 1980s. Their music was more influenced, though, by Killing Joke than Crass. They released one 12" ep on the fightback label in 1985 and had one song on the We don't Want Your fucking Law compilation LP (available here: http://ya-cant-go-home.blogspot.com/2009/03/va-we-dont-want-your-fucking-law.html) which was also released on fightback in 1985. That song, rushing to Hide, is available here as a bonus on the 12" ep. The demo and the live shows all have unreleased tracks. Both live shows are very good audience recordings with the Electric Ballroom show being the better of the two.
