For over a decade, Throw Down Bones have fused psych rock with industrial, noise, and krautrock across their three albums. This mix creates an overwhelming intensity—especially in a live setting. Now, you can experience it at home. Live At Fuzz Club Festival 2024 (Rubber Duck) captures seven tracks from last…

For 26 years, Dead Meadow have been traveling through space and time. But last year, the band suffered a heavy loss—bassist Steve Kille passed away from cancer, leaving the band as a duo. Under this shadow, Voyager to Voyager (Heavy Psych Sounds) is a deeply melancholic album. Kille was still…

The sound of POPULATION II has always had its charm—frantic psych rock infused with prog elements, pulling off five twists in two seconds. But stretched over an entire album, it often felt overwhelming, almost exhausting, as the Canadian band set everything ablaze. With Maintenant Jamais (Bonsound), that changes. Producer Dominic…

Gnod and White Hills first crossed paths on 2008’s Aquarian Downer. Both bands share a love for psych rock, but this collaboration brought together Gnod’s dense, heavy sound with White Hills’ far-out spacey textures—creating something truly special. Clearly, they felt the same, as they continued to meet for further sessions….

Rarely has an album evoked such nostalgic feelings as the new release from Soundwire. This is pure ’90s—Loveless, Screamadelica, and Britpop all wrapped into one. Collider (Sister 9 / Little Cloud), the British band’s second album, fuses shoegaze and neo-psych into a beautifully wistful mix. We drift over old dance…

Danny Lee Blackwell has announced a new 7-inch for his Night Beats. Behind The Green Door (Suicide Squeeze / Fuzz Club) will be released on April 11, drawing inspiration from Giallo films. This influence is also evident in the video for Behind The Green Door, which marks Blackwell’s directorial debut….

Four years after their last album, New Candys are back—with a new lineup and a new sound. How it all comes together will be revealed on May 30 when The Uncanny Extravaganza (Fuzz Club) drops. The Italian band offers a first glimpse with the single Regicide. The garage-tinged, post-punk-infused psych…

The ever-industrious Hooveriii are back with yet another new album. Not that we’re complaining—these Californians consistently deliver compelling psych rock with a proggy edge. Their upcoming record, Manhunter (The Reverberation Appreciation Society), set for release on May 16, seems poised to continue that trend. The first single, Westside Pavilion of…

With 2022’s Dust Moves, Pretty Lightning fell silent. Their bluesy, psychedelic garage rock remained, but vocals were gone. The duo continues this approach on their new album, Night Wobble (Fuzz Club). What’s new is their use of 13 fixed motifs—each song sticks to its core idea with little variation but…

Bloke was formed around Jakob Buraczewski, who shaped the band between Berlin and London. The result is a sound fueled by shimmering psych rock and driving post-punk. With Living Without Expectations (Tonzonen), they now present their first five-track EP. It doesn’t do anything wrong, but it doesn’t break much new…
