What is "hexbreaker!"

Hexbreaker! is the second album by The Fleshtones. The album was recorded at Skyline Studios in New York City in March 1983 and produced by Richard Mazda. All songs were composed by band members with the exception of "Burning Hell", a cover of a song originally written and performed by John Lee Hooker. The band also recorded "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love" by The Dantes and "She'e My Baby" by Johnny O'Keefe during the sessions, however neither made the album. A dance remix was made of the title track with engineer David Lichtenstein and retitled "Super Hexbreaker", which later appeared on the European EP of "American Beat' 84".

The record sleeve was designed by lead singer Peter Zaremba with Carl Grasso, George Dubrose and Richard Mazda, featuring "fey devil photos" by George Dubrose. The back cover of the original LP displayed the following humorous message:

"The theme of this album is NEW, because after all, this is the FLESHTONES newest LP. And not only is it their newest but it's also their wildest, most emphatic, most super-rock record yet! It's been said that the FLESHTONES aren't just a pop group but an outlook, a way of life. But - although a lot of things have been said about the FLESHTONES, you'll agree that their new hexbreaking record album renders all praise not only superfluous, but unnecessary. The Guys"

The original I.R.S. Records record label states: "Hey Kids!! Here Is Your Official Fleshtones Super-Rock Recording"

Singles were released in Europe for "Right Side Of A Good Thing" and "Screamin' Skull". A promotional music video was made for "Right Side Of A Good Thing".
