Brooklyn based Rips have quickly built a reputation amongst NYC showgoers, winning them over with their virtuous melodies and sheer ferocity amidst an endless flurry of shows. Their songs may channel late '70s New York City bands like Television and The Feelies, but Rips propels these references into something new. Their self-titled debut, produced by Austin Brown of Parquet Courts, is eleven tracks of buzzing guitar riffs driven by a charged rhythm section, all set under lyrics that are actually worth a damn.

Rips (the record) takes cues from the moonlighting era of rock, while delivering a set of songs distinctly fit for the modern age. Once described as a “hyperreal rock n’ roll group”, the phrase “borne forward ceaselessly into the future" is more what they’re going for here.

So break an old habit. Let your hair down (or up). Rips will take you there.

"Pink Skies", Mountain Movers' seventh studio album finds the New Haven group diving further into an interstellar wormhole, guiding the listener through an enchanting labyrinth of squalling feedback, heady P.S.F.-influenced psychedelia, motorik rhythms, and mind-flaying guitar interplay. ~ OUT OCT 5th, 2018 via Trouble In Mind Records (www.troubleinmindrecs.com)

Theo Verney TV EP Casette. Released 15 April 2013

At 22 years old, Theo Verney is somewhat of a modern 'Renaissance Man'. His solo project's debut EP, aptly titled 'T.V E.P' was played, recorded and produced entirely by Theo at his home studio in Brighton.

A perfect mix of psychedelia, prog rock, grunge and garage rock, 'T.V E.P' provides six tracks of small but perfectly formed songs. On listening, you'd be hard pressed to tell that all this was the work of just one man. 
Live however, he has been taking to the stage with the help of a full band. Recreating his EP live in all it's distorted, wah drenched glory for your listening pleasure.

Theo Verney- Moving Forever

Left Bereft

Los Angeles-based group The Spyrals are gearing up to release their new album ‘Same Old Line’ on October 30th. Taking cues from The Velvet Underground, 13th Floor Elevators and The Stooges by way of Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Muddy Waters, the record sees the band carve out eight songs of raw, back-to-basics rock’n’roll that marries white-knuckle garage-blues, psychedelic repetition and sun-baked alt-country to create “something new with an old soul”. The record is their fourth full-length to date and their first since signing to London-based label Fuzz Club.  

Armed with a guitar, harmonica and fuzz pedal, band-leader Jeff Lewis formed The Spyrals when he was living in San Francisco in the early 2010s. Now, though, he’s based in Los Angeles and finds himself backed by a new line-up of musicians. ‘Same Old Line’ was cooked up in new drummer Dash’s garage and recorded over the course of a few days and nights straight to a Tascam tape machine. Jeff recalls: “This is the first album recorded with a new lineup after I moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles. At the time of recording we werenʼt sure if this would be a Spyrals album or something under a different name. At some point during the mixing process I decided to keep moving on under the Spyrals name, so to me this album is a real turning point in the band’s history.”

The result is a record that’s just as rooted in the sounds of Nashville and the Mississippi Delta as it is the band’s West Coast garage-rock forebears. “I was heavy into listening to a lot of Neil Young and Crazy Horse during this period too which I can hear in some of the song structures. We actually all took a road trip to Bakersfield, CA to see Neil with Crazy Horse in concert around the time of working on the album.” Lyrically, Jeff says, “it feels like the most raw record so far and the most open and down to earth. Less psychedelic sounds and more real life emotions and situations.” The opening title-track ‘Same Old Line’, for example, is a song about “life’s ups and downs and how some people seem to have it easier than others. We’re all tied together whether we know it or not and in the end we all have our different struggles to get by and keep living.”

Elsewhere, ‘Don’t Turn Me Down’ is a defiant, overdriven ode to “trying to stay positive when obstacles seem to keep coming in the way” and ‘In Your Room’ is a piece of psychedelic alt-country about a “new romance, maybe a short fling, and wanting something to work out that you know won’t be possible”. Charting similar themes, ‘There’s A Feeling’ is about love and travelling (“two things that can be hard to do at the same time”) and ’Goodbye’ is an observation that “life is short and even the stars fade away eventually”, both delivered through the medium of stomping, blues-inflected garage-rock. ‘Just Won’t Break’, on the other hand, is a song about the American Dream and it's hopeless shortcomings, Jeff offering the following advice for his fellow country-men and -women: “Don’t let it get you down. Most of us are still waiting for it to come true.”

Arriving off the back of their 2012 self-titled debut, 2013’s ‘Out of Sight’ and last year’s ‘The Curse’, ‘Same Old Line’ marks a new chapter for the band who have spent the last decade picking up a growing international reputation for their fuzzed-out, driving rock’n’roll. They’ve played with the likes of Spectrum/Sonic Boom, Moon Duo, Fuzz, The Warlocks and Spindrift and performed at such festivals as SXSW, Desert Stars Festival, LA Psych Fest and in 2015 they even headlined a festival in Southern Russia (‘Spring Beat Festival’), one of the first US bands to play in the area. Right before the Covid-19 lockdown set in this year they’d also wrapped up a headline European tour just in the knick of time.

The Spyrals - There's A Feeling

The Flowers - Criminal Waste (1979)

For the last 8 years these DIY sonic alchemists have been creating whacked out soundscapes and songs that appear to have been born from another universe, all from the confines of their sonic bunker.

2015 as been a successful year for The Cult of Dom Keller and with album 3 now recorded, the direction of the new material expands on the previous 2 lo-fi long-players, which both sold out on word of mouth alone, and have been consistently featured and raved about in top 10 lists of psychedelic blogs over the previous years consecutively.

Over the years they have performed at Austin Psych Fest 2011 and 2013, Milhoes De Festa and regularly toured Europe and UK.

 C°DK are rapidly gaining the attention of fans of fuzz and weirdness worldwide, playing in and around Europe, with accolades often coming from the unexpected such as experimental techno DJ and Golden Pudel resident Helena Hauff singled out ‘Swamp Heron’ as ‘The track I wish I’d signed to my label’ in a recent Guardian (UK) newspaper feature.

The band recently toured with Heavenly Records latest signings 'The Nightbeats' and have been booked already for this year's Raw Power Festival in London in May, Dublin's Reverberation Festival, Lewes Psychedelic Festival and Portugal's Reverance Festival.
