While at the aforementioned Three Trapped Tigers album launch, I was browsing the merchandise stall when I came across Bygones, the debut release by Evil Ex, known to his friends as Matt Calvert, and to the rest of us as Three Trapped Tigers’ guitarist. Backed by TTT drummer Adam Betts, who provides his signature thunderous percussion, Evil Ex is indeed a different beast. Described by label Blood and Biscuits as “brooding guitar-led, groove-based experimental rock”, Bygones is available to buy for only £5.
