On Jan. 20, Hex Records will release a new split 12" between Brain Cave (Cleveland, OH) and Knub (Baltimore, MD). The record is part of an ongoing series where Hex pairs two bands on short notice with a focus on unique packaging. Brain Cave plays post-hardcore with both melodic and fuzzy tones, whereas Knub play riff-heavy and potent rock.

Previous splits in the series have included Great Falls/Great Sabatini and Child Bite/Multicult.
