I Hate My Ex formed around singer Sam Somers, guitarist Josh Townsend, bassist Matt Miller, and drummer Brad Martin. Their self-titled debut came out in 2019, with songs like 'Mr.f' and 'Come Hell or High Water' channeling the raw, bitter energy of a breakup. The music landed with listeners who recognized that particular kind of anger.
Somers's lyrics are blunt and personal, which has drawn both fans and criticism. Some find the directness cathartic, while others have called the tone negative. Their stage shows have a similar unvarnished quality, often leaning into explicit language and imagery. The band followed up with albums in 2021 and 2023, sticking to that confrontational style.
They've kept a dedicated audience that connects with the music's emotional immediacy. It's less about crafting perfect anthems and more about giving a sharp, unfiltered voice to post-relationship frustration.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
