The Exit






Three-piece punk rock band from Queens with a serious fetish for The Police (Sting's Police, not those in law-enforcement). The first album had some really tight punk jams produced by none other than Mr. Daniel Rey. The second album saw the band maturing more and really growing as songwriters. I first saw this band when they opened for The Lawrence Arms at The Embassy here in London (in front of no more than 25 people) and they fucking blew the lid off the place. A really interesting side note is that singer/guitarist Ben Brewer is M.I.A.'s baby-daddy and the heir to the Bronfman/Seagram's billion dollar empire (his father is Edgar Bronfman Jr. the CEO of Warner Bros.).
