Gummy Bear is an iconoclastic attack on prohibition, a celebration of the mind unleashed. Decriminalization has been dominating headlines and news feeds. Psych-O-Positive is ready to dominate the musical landscape with a brand-new release that tackles a controversial topic with gleeful abandon.  Hooked into the zeitgeist, screaming guitars, psychedelic sitar, and sotto voce harmonies are layered with sick licks that animate this highly infused track. There is no better way to kick off the end of a pandemic and usher in the roaring twenties 2.1 than with the complexity and color of a tune so intense that it’s practically edible.

Gummy Bear

Naked or Dead is a gasoline-soaked psychobilly wild ride that tears through sinister streets with surf rock riffs and a drive-by vibe that gives a nod to Taj Mahal and James Rachell. Part searing media commentary and part ripped-from-the-headlines horror show, Naked or Dead by Psych-O-Positive takes the listener on a dangerous cave punk joyride through the back alleys of the black-market organ trade. You have been warned.

A sonic freefall laced with distortion, Psych-O-Positive’s Gummy Bear gets dissected during lab class and punk legend Ivan Julian is wielding the scalpel.  The mix tastes like the edge of a brownie pan, so expect layers of guitar that crunch but are also chewy like the gummy you have come to know and love.  While this remix of Gummy Bear hits hard and grabs you for a wild ride, it promises to take you home safely but in an altered state.  Use at your own risk.

Ivan Meets The Gummy Bear

A stream of consciousness journey through the nostalgic reverie of a Catholic schoolgirl torn between perfectionism and desire with crunchy guitars that sound like blades scraping against ice and whispering vocals that mimic an eraser rubbing across the page.   Red Knee Socks is the new release from Psych-O-Positive timed to commemorate the 100th birthday of Jack Kerouac; it is equal parts poetry and indie rock greatness.  It’s everything you don’t want to remember but can’t bring yourself to forget.

Red Knee Socks

Shattered Mirror World

The song 75, is an upbeat reflection of life, back in the year 1975

”Make Me Wanna” riffs on a song by 60’s garage band called The Prophets (check out their single “Yes I Know” on Pebbles Comp Vol.010). However the similarity ends there, as the song veers from VU swing into a Who-based tangent and back again.

Make Me Wanna

Psych-O-Positive Live at The Sidewalk Cafe 2.17.16

Blood (Coming out of Her Whatever) is the dis track of this moment; an unflinching denunciation of the current political order. Psych-O-Positive has captured the zeitgeist and Greg Talenfeld has lent his talents to a band that he might understand better than anyone.

Blood (Coming out of her Whatever) Talenfeld Remix

Overseas is a sentimental slow throwback to a simpler time when international travel was possible and
love was complicated. Late night text battles, missed communication, love, betrayal, and peepin shorties
make the new release from psych-O-positive the silky groove we all need right now.
“This belongs on the radio.” — Ivan Julian.

Overseas

We are psych-O-positive, universal donor of sonic psychedelia; getting together, bending the string till it's so tight you feel it's about to snap, but it never does: it just vibrates on a higher frequency.
