Their critically acclaimed album Hex Enduction Hour was released in March on Kamera Records, followed closely by Room To Live in September of that year. Founded by its only constant member, Mark E. Smith, The Fall formed in Manchester in 1976 and were one of the most prominent post-punk groups in the world. Musically, there may have been several stylistic changes over the years, but it was often characterised by an abrasive guitar-driven sound and frequent use of repetition, always underpinned by Smiths distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics They are always different; they are always the same. – John Peel Hex Enduction Hour was the fourth studio album by The Fall, building on their lo-fi production with a two-drummer line-up. The album was recorded in Reykjavik, Iceland, and Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Featuring the classic line-up of Mark E. Smith alongside Steve Hanley (bass), Craig Scanlon (guitar), Karl Burns (drums), Paul Hanley (drums), and Marc Riley (guitar), this double black vinyl edition is released exclusively for National Album Day to celebrate one of Britains greatest post-punk bands – THE FALL!
