Vancouver indie-band, The Hextalls, is the sound of wild, pop punk music. Injecting upbeat music with comical lyrics, the band formed in 1998, playing extensively across Canada with their first album.

The band split up for five years, reuniting in 2007, and recently released a brand new album, Get Smashed, described as “17 songs above love and video games”.

With songs like The Final Countdown II, I Don’t Wanna Be A New York Ranger, and Kristine, all led by front man Devin Hextall, we’ll go to bat for this Vancouver gem. Check out the band’s website at http://thehextalls.pcriot.com or their Facebook page for upcoming tour dates.
