In this episode of Music Scene, host Nanette Wiser catches up with Hex Appeal @hexappealband. They describe themselves as "five witchy punks rocking Florida's Gulf Coast," but Hex Appeal is so much more than just an indie band born out of a Ladies' Rock Camp, part of Girls Rock St. Pete! Meet Tampa Bay Times reporter Gabrielle Calise (guitar/voices), graphic designer Cat Lim (bass/vocals), Vertical Ventures owner Kelly KJ Jackson (drums), Punk Granny coach Loella Springmann (keys/vocals) and award-winning photographer Sandra Dohnert (vocals/guitar).

👉They dropped their first single in October, posting on Instagram: "OUR DEBUT SINGLE IS HERE! Everyone say hello to “Haunted,” now streaming everywhere!! One of our first songs conjured up after we met at Ladies Rock Camp in February 2024, “Haunted” is loud, spooky, sexy and campy - aka, Hex Appeal summed up in a song. Playing it is our favorite way to close out a show, so it just made sense to drop it on the last day of our Hextober local world tour." Listen to HAUNTED!
