Combining their own style of Alternative Rock into a feeling. An Experience. A Concept. An Escape - This is HEX.


HEX began touring their material just two months after forming, playing over 150 shows within their first year as well as getting their music licensed as the soundtrack to an award winning USA film,

Two years later, with hundreds more shows to their name, HEX found themselves nominated as the frontrunners for Britain’s Best Young Band 2014 as part of the governments Rock The House UK music awards, hosted by Yamaha, Orange Amplification and Gibson Guitars. Their music and live theatrical performances propelled them to win the award and in turn score major endorsements with the sponsors Yamaha and Orangeleading to the band being invited to play live on BBC Two Television at the Houses of Parliament to over 7 million viewers. 

Soon after, it was with the decision to release a début single to the world that multi-platinum Grammy and Brit award winning producer Robin Millar agreed to help get involved and work with the band on their first big release ‘Just A Game’ - ‘ A powerhouse of a song with melodies that get trapped in your mind and choruses that you can’t help but sing along to from the very first listen’

The single is set to hit stores mid-2016 and has already been previewed three weeks in a row on BBC Radio Merseyside due to popular demand from listeners. Building up to the release HEX have began working internationally with Polish artist Adrianna Piotrowska, to release a collaboration single alongside ‘Just A Game’.


 It seems that HEX have no boundaries with their music, and it is this attitude that drives them forward as a genre defining artist.


Biography
‘The big man, with the big voice’. Samuel Astley, a hard working and dedicated musician with a voice worn down by cigarettes and alcohol brings something of a fresh sound into the world from the likes of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Mumford and Sons to name a few.
Since a young age and hearing Dylan’s ‘Tambourine Man’ for the first time, Astley has always had a strong passion for writing music that could make others feel emotion in the same way his own influences have made him feel.

When asked about his writing process he said: ‘I never had the easiest youth, so when I write my lyrics, it’s about my past experiences, but I like to think people can relate to them’
It’s hard to come by a musician that will deliver the goods live. However, Astley does not disappoint. One of his most recent performances at the Acoustic Festival of Britain, an encore turned into an entire repeat of his set, with the crowd still wanting more at the end. Along with many other performances, Astley has shared the stage with the likes of Young Rebel Set, Tom Seals and many more.

After releasing his first EP ‘Coffee In The Morning’ in 2010, Astley has gone from pub performer to local heavy weight with the only direction being up. The recent release of his latest single, ‘I’m Gonna Change’ has received nothing but positive feedback and has seen Astley into the next stage of his career.

Samuel Astley is definitely a man to keep an eye on 2012.
Astley, manages to simultaneously convey power in his voice and, with a manipulation of tone, create a relaxing sense of calm. – Hevy Petal.
