Premiere : Table Scraps Unleash “My Obsession”, 7″ Split with Black Mekon
Way back in the year 2015 the Birmingham garage/psych wizards Table Scraps dropped their excellent masterpiece More Time For Strangers. It was a blitzkrieg of guitar squall, hyperactive drumming, and banshee howls that could resurrect the dead and make those zombified ghouls bang their heads and pump their skeletal fists. It was a raucous example …
Premiere: Equators – Second Wind
Equators are essentially the project of Trevor H, and they make rather lovely psychedelic pop out of San Francisco, CA. Describing their output as being an attempt to “break away from a (sometimes) forced or narrow structure within pop/rock music to conjure sounds/textures/melodies based on off-the-cuff exercises creating something charged with immediacy…little by little the …

It’s been a big year for Dreamtime releases this year. The first two albums, ‘Dreamtime‘ and ‘Sun‘, were re-released by Cardinal Fuzz/ Captcha Records back in January and sold out pretty damn quickly. Now hot (really hot) on their heels comes the Brisbane band’s third album ‘Strange Pleasures’ which is now up for pre-order from …
Say Psych: Premiere, Fyre Balls by Ball
A few weeks ago I did a playlist of great Swedish psych music (here). Had I known about this new single from new band Ball I’m pretty sure I would have included it on there. It’s a great piece of fuzzy funky trippy psych that will have you grooving along to the beat and wishing …
