EX WHITE - This Is Future LP Psychedelic RockIf you had told me this band came from the late 80s early 90s Chicago punk scene, I wouldnt have doubted you for a second. Hailing from Germany, EX WHITES first full length ranges from dance driven post punk to raw, Midwestern melodic hardcore similar to NAKED RAYGUN and LEATHERFACE.
