Alex Exists shares eye candy video for neo western disco twang single “With A Bang”

A founding member of both The Ruby Spirit and The Nursery, Alex Exists started his foray into music at the tender age of eight when he wrote and recorded his first songs (and noisy experiments) using the family’s home karaoke machine. Its two tape decks and record functions were used to overdub and build songs with Alex recording with every instrument he could get his hands on.

On the heels of The Ruby Spirit breaking up, Alex started writing and performing his songs with the Nursery. Their debut album, Life After Wartime, was awarded Best Independent Rock/Pop Band in Canada by Indie88 in 2018. The station described the album as a “complex record that explores numerous themes such as our society’s obsession with technology, fame and nostalgia.” That same year, the band was awarded Best Music Video for “Digital Ashes” by the Toronto Independent Music Awards.

Alex’s music is inspired by absurdism, hyper surrealism, and optimistic nihilism with an acid tongue firmly planted in his cheek. He is fascinated by pop culture and ego. The signature of Alex’s creative work is his unique sonic touches, drum heavy rhythms, and classic ‘pop through a blender’ melodies. His new project, Alex Exists, launched with a neo-glam pop version of David Essex’s Rock On for The Confidence Emperors’ multi-artist album, Coverama, followed by his T. Rex meets John Lennon seasonal original, “Never Christmas Without You.” Alex played all of the instruments on both tracks except drums. On March 10th, he released the first single, “Dancing With Chaos,” from his debut album, Everybody’s Famous (Except Me).
