biographical info
Hermetic is a 2-piece from Vancouver, consisting of Eric Axen (baritone guitar, vocals) and Bart Newman (drums). Inspired equally by 90s Canadian indie rock (Inbreds, Plumtree) and 80s American post-punk (Mission of Burma, Minutemen), the duo typically creates a racket that surpasses the sum of its parts. Axen and Newman both grew up in the small Northern BC town of Smithers, and have been playing music together since before they hit puberty. After having toured Canada and played countless shows in and around Vancouver, Hermetic finally released its first full-length LP, "Civilized City," in April 2012.
