Head For The Door and get this....
I had no real knowledge of the band before the show, but was impressed enough by their set to grab "Head For The Door" at the merchandise table. I just saw The Exies open a show for Breaking Benjamin. I went into the club lobby and the band was there. . . and immediately thanked me for buying the disk and offered to sign it.

So I am already doubly impressed before I even pop the CD into the player. But then it was time to move on to the music itself! "Slow Drain" rips the CD broad open with a chugging baseline and instantly catchy riff, and "Head For The Door" rarely drops from that velocity. From the old-school grunge of "My Opinion" to the Velvet Revolver touches on "False Sense Of Security" that producer Nick Raskulinecz brought along to the studio (and that is a compliment), to the delightful, original "Ugly," The Exies rock hard.

The only slip is the obvious bid for video single-dom, "Tired Of You. " It sounds so eager to please that its appearance sticks out like a sore thumb. It is, however, hard to begrudge the band their desire to climb to the success levels of Hoobastank and Three Doors Down. Just be sure to have your remote at the ready. But with "Head For The Door" and an energetic live show, The Exies will have them running. In, that is.

Censored here is "False Sense Of Security. ".
