British punk/sludge metal act Hex Poseur has released a new live EP.
Sheriff Sessions is an evocative and unabashedly honest collection, featuring 5 candid tracks.
The release comes as the follow up to 2023 full-length, Stunning, which is out now, on Manic Kat Records.
Unpacking the new release, Hex Poseur shares: "Inspired by Josh Homme’s ‘Desert Sessions’ my new live EP ‘Sheriff Sessions’ is intended to capture the energy and emotion of every live performance. It is a collection of reworks, covers and songs which didn’t fit anywhere else which were recorded all in one room, giving it the most naturalistic feel."
Hex continues: "It encapsulates my musical journey over my career so far, being a blend of my traditional punk roots and the sludgy, stoner metal sound of my more recent work. This is EP contains tracks which a lot of fans have requested, and with artwork by Frank from hardcore punk friends’ Sex Germs, this is truly a love letter to the underground UK punk scene, blending both old school and new school styles."
