Spiral Drive - Since bursting onto the neo-psych scene with their 2019 debut album Unity, SPIRAL DRIVE, the visionary project of German-Austrian multi-instrumentalist and music producer Raphaël Neikes, has evolved into one of Europe's most dynamic and boundary-pushing psychedelic acts. Their second full-length, Visions in Bloom (2022), anchored by the multi-million-streamed single "Space Train", cemented their reputation. The album fuses psychedelic rock, alternative, psych-pop, grunge, and indie into a dazzling, cohesive whole, earning comparisons to reknown artists like Tame Impala, King Gizzard, Queens of the Stone Age, MGMT, and even Pink Floyd, yet existing defiantly outside any one genre. Alongside collaborators like Ben McLeod (All Them Witches) and Lord Fascinator (Children Collide), Neikes led a creative charge that has resonated across Europe, with a growing fanbase in the UK, USA, and Australia. Last year their Beatles cover "Tomorrow Never Knows", which features original artwork by Klaus Voormann, famously associated with the album cover of "Revolver", earned acclaim across alternative press and way beyond their core fan base.

Lana Death Ray - Lana Death Ray is a Psych-Gaze band formed in 2023. Having released their latest single ‘The Mould’ in April, the five piece have taken their fuzzed up sounds across the UK - notably headlining The Hope & Ruin in the heart of Brighton and London’s Sebright Arms. They have also featured on festival lineups such as Manchester Psych Fest, Homegrown, 234 Fest, The Alt Escape and The Eclipse. 

School Disco - Brighton quartet School Disco release the striking new album SD IV via Krautpop!. The new LP comes accompanied by a new video for ‘Messiah Of Evil’. Speaking about the video, Rory explains: “The messiah of evil music video is made up of all the great footage we had from the farm road sessions that made up the recording of SDIV. Our friend Akos recorded it and it was edited by me. Looking back it’s always great to see the start or genesis of the album and stamp the last video with the seedling that became the album”. A brooding, hypnotic collection of tracks that capture the bands unique blend of prog, psychedelic rock and krautrock, the new album SDIV captures the band's most expansive, ambitious and accomplished work to date. Building their reputation for their live high-octane live shows which have seen the band tour across the UK and Europe, the band's textural, experimental and musically rich sound shines bright across the 7 tracks.
