WYTCH PYCKNYCK RELEASE PSYCH-PUNK POUNDER ‘COLUMBO NO. 5
23rd October 2023Hastings-based ‘stoner speed freaks’ Wytch Pycknyck doesn’t play a lot of local gigs, but every now and again big dayglo posters of snakes and demons and skulls will appear resulting in packed-to-the-rafters shows, blending 70’s and 90’s guitars into a fierce lo-fi stoner, psychedelic, garage rock brawl.
Property Of The Lost label hunted the band down after seeing them as part of the infamous Hastings Fat Tuesday festival. The band lifted the crowd off on a 20-minute juggernaut journey of Motorhead meets 90’‘s Hardcore. No wasted spaces, they came, they conquered, they left. This is the first outing from their forthcoming debut album ‘Columbo No. 5’; the song touches on themes of positive empowerment, self-belief, and acknowledging the power of anger to effect change socially & personally and calls out the bullshit.
Recorded at the historic Tunbridge Wells Forum, it’s a kinetic 2 and a half minutes of classic Butthole Surfers, Sonic Youth with an ACDC stomp.
The debut Wytch Pycknyck album is due in early 2024 on Property Of The Lost. Watch the skies, and deep space, for more information.
Catch the band live at the following dates:
Oct 24th London, The Water Rats
Oct 28th Hastings, The Albion
Nov 3rd Brighton, Worlds End
