The Wytches

Hypnotic. Arabian funeral. Depression in the desert. Sepia rainbows. This is the psychedelic nightmare spun by The Wytches, who are spreading their subversive message across the UK in the dark guide of SOS surf riffs, desert riffs, melancholic shuffles and a kaleidoscopic stage performance that will put you under. Formed in November 2011 after moving from Peterborough, this brighton based surf/doom three piece comprise of guitar/organ/lead vocalist Kristian, semi-professional poker playing drummer Gianni and fiercely eloquent bassist Dan, who is currently writing an adventure novel by the name of The Curious Adventure of Charlie Revel.

The group gained a strong following from their debut single and self-produced video “Digsaw,” and have been gaining in notoriety ever since, thanks to their spellbinding live shows. Think Nirvana’s Bleach, The Arctic Monkeys' Humbug, The Horrors' Strange House, and you're halfway there. Because with songs that make you feel dirty to single, and undeniable rhythm that will have you moving against all efforts to resist, The Wytches are a band you will not easily forget.

2013 saw The Wytches supporting a rich variety of acts including Death Grips, The Black Angels, Chelsea Wolfe, The Cribs, Bosnian Rainbows, Japandroids, Temples, METZ and Drenge. They released their second single, the AA-side, “Beehive Queen/Crying Clown,” via HATEHATEHATERecords on June 3, which sold out almost immediately. Following the success of “Beehive Queen,” the band re-released “Digsaw” as a limited white label 7”. On November 18, The Wytches released “Robe For Juda/Wide At Midnight” on limited 7” vinyl, their second and similarly fast-selling AA-side single with Hate Hate Hate.
