"There is a reason this is called Psych Rock and The Black Angels define and epitomize exactly what this genre and sound is."

POW Music Review: Play With Fire by L.A. Witch
What makes L.A. Witch unique is underneath that firecracker and smoke appeal therein lies the complex layers of melancholy (echoes of Spacemen 3) that haunts and stays with you. They capture that transient spirit of Los Angeles fairly well.

Babylon K- The Kasbah Experience EP

We’ve got Daniele “el Blanco” Dainelli on lead vocals, Giacomo “Jimbo” Goffo and Cheri on Guitars, and Emanuele Bitossi on bass. Their first release was a self titled EP released in 2015 but it’s here on The Kasbah Experience EP that we witness all members really coming into their own.

Take A Trip to Space With Three Dimensional Tanx’s “Attack”
If you’re looking for some high-energy fun to start your weekend off right, look no further than Attack, the 2016 release from Three Dimensional Tanx.

Attack‘s opening track, “Motorbootin’”, blasts off with searing guitars and 60s organ sounds- (plus you’ve gotta love the kinds of drummers who almost make you feel bad for the drumset!)- a wild but fleeting introduction to the rest of the album. Other tracks like “Hot Dog”, personal favorite “Pink Spaceship”, and…
