Expose crawled out of a drum machine in Los Angeles in 2019. While the band’s earliest demos, fully written and recorded by drummer Trent Rivas, presented a grimier, heavier sound, the band quickly evolved into something entirely different as it became more fleshed out.
Always rooted in punk, Expose grew into a more minimal, noisier sound that reflected the sensibilities of its rotating cast of additional members, a sound more reminiscent of DNA, than previously the Screamers.
In the words of Max Nordile (Preening, Debt Rag), the band sounded like “hardcore falling down a mountain.” In its current form, featuring mainstays Jeff Stephens on guitar and James Novick on synths, as well as brothers Jake and Riley Getz on bass and guitar, Expose find themselves hitting a beat somewhere between Glenn Branca and Spacemen 3. The band is tighter and louder than ever and will always be falling down the mountain.
