Ty Segall is not the type of guy to sit on his laurels. He doesn’t put out an album and then sit, lay back and just coast on good reviews for awhile. It seems that usually by the time he puts a record out he’s already onto the next record, project, music obsession, etc. For …

Garage rock quartet The Velvet Hands have shared the video that accompanies their new single ‘Only Blame Myself’ which is out digitally on January 26th. It’s taken from the bands forthcoming debut album ‘Party’s Over’, which drops digitally and on limited Record Store Day vinyl on April 21st, and on CD and standard vinyl May …

Rating: 7/10 With such a tripped-out name drawing focus, the new Acid Baby Jesus album, Lilac Days, released on Fuzz Club Records, has a lot to live up to. These Greek garage rockers have been championed highly in the international scene, being less concerned with the spiritual and tripped-out realms that their name foreshadows but …

Day Two dawns for Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia, and the bleary eyed and the fresh faced alike assemble early at the Baltic Triangle to begin to absorb what is certain to be an interesting day. Opening the District stage are Manchester’s Purple Heart Parade. Back to a five piece after recent personnel changes, the …

Going into Wand’s Plum I was expecting a bit of the usual Ty Segall-inspired garage noise, much like what was on the three previous records(Ganglion Reef, Golem, 1000 Days.)

Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia has become known as the festival to be at for anyone interested in psychedelia, as well as being famed for touting some lesser known acts from complimenting genres. This years festival is set to be no exception, a feast for all the senses is in store. Thing’s kick off early …

Rating: 8/10 L.A. Witch, who’s name is a partial misnomer, hail from Los Angeles but do not partake in any sort of witchcraft, unless you class creating soundscapes of hazy Californian nights many years prior to their birth. This ability to conjure a specific time and place through their sound has ensured increasing support and …

Like buses (yeah I know, I should go for a less stayed cliche, but come on – you can’t beat a decent cliche sometimes) you wait for ages an album from Rhode Islands Deer Tick – four years to be precise since 2013’s negativity, and all of a sudden two come along at once. The …

Rating: 9/10 Heaters who call Grand Rapids, Michigan home, have drawn acclaim from across the globe after rising to prominence in 2014 with their spacey, driving take on West Coast psychedelic rock. Tapping into 60s garage they build their own brand of expansive kinetic energy which swells with cosmic vibes. During a UK tour earlier …
