The Ex are a Dutch music group from Amsterdam founded in 1979. In three decades as band, they have moved from playing anarcho punk to post punk, jazz, folk and African music. They have collaborated on records with fellow indie musicians Chumbawamba, Dog Faced Hermans, Tortoise and Sonic Youth, improvisers like Tom Cora and the Instant Composers Pool, and toured with African musicians Konono No. 1 and Getatchew Mekurya.

The band have released many albums on their own label, Ex Records. Members of The Ex also run small labels through which they release solo material and collaborations with other artists. These include Terrie Hessels' Terp Records, Andy Moor's Unsounds, and Arnold de Boer's Makkum. The Ex distribute all these through their website, along with recordings and publications by founding member and former vocalist G.W. Sok.[1]
