Fex

FEX is a German post-punk and new wave band based and formed in Kiel in October 1980, best known for their song "Subways of Your Mind", also known as "The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet", the subject of a 17-year-long internet search to identify the song title and original artist. Although the band only released a six-track tape during their original tenure, keyboard player Michael Hädrich revealed during a Reddit AMA that FEX "had songs for a full 2 set concert". One of the tape's songs, "Jenny", also appeared on the compilation album Zeus Top Hits in 1985. Fex reformed in the wake of the search for "Subways of Your Mind" and began releasing more songs in late 2024, the first being "Goldrush". In December 2024, Hädrich discovered the NDR version of "Subways of Your Mind" in his storage; it was made available for streaming in January 2025.
