The Hextalls
Get Smashed
Self Released
The Hextalls embody the exactly what I like about pop punk. They write catchy songs, are lots of fun to listen to, and they don’t take themselves seriously (Have you ever seen a pop punk band that DOES take itself way too seriously? I have, and it’s always TERRIBLE). They use goofy humor and references, and have songs about hockey, video games. There’s a few inside jokes as well, but they can still be mildly appreciated by someone on the outside, if for no better reason they seem to enjoying themselves so much. Conversely, when they do get serious for a moment, it makes them all the more charming. And while I understand that ultimately a band like The Hextalls isn’t for everyone, I hold them in the same regard as I do their fellow Vancouver, B.C. Canadian Nardwuar the Human Serviette; If you’re not into it, you’re probably no fun, and I don’t want to hang out with you.
