The Wytches Debut video for “Gravedweller”

The Wytches Debut video for their single "Gravedweller". The Wytches will release their debut album this spring. The band will play this March at SXSW.

 

Dark and driven, The Wytches consist of vocalist/guitarist Kristian Bell, bassist Dan Rumsey, and drummer Gianni Honey.  Their sound is full of echoes and heavy riffs and a narcotic haze with influences ranging from Leonard Cohen to Black Sabbath.

Formed in November 2011 after moving down from Peterborough, this Brighton, UK based three piece is comprised of guitar / organ / lead vocalist Kristian; semi-professional poker playing / severe ADHD suffering drummer Gianni, and fiercely eloquent bassist Dan, who is currently writing a science fiction novel by the name of The Curious Adventures of Charlie Revel.  The group gained a following in the UK from their debut single and self produced video “Digsaw”.

The Wytches have toured incessantly since their forming, which saw them supporting a rich variety of acts including Death Grips, The Black Angels, Band Of Skulls, Chelsea Wolfe, Bosnian Rainbows, Japandroids, Temples, Metz, Future Of The Left, The Cribs, Yuck and Drenge. They released their second single, the AA-side “Beehive Queen”/”Crying Clown,” via Hate Hate Hate Records on June 3rd 2013. Following Beehive. the band re-released “Digsaw” as a limited white label 7″. On November 18th, the band released a second AA side single, “Robe For Juda” / “Wide At Midnight” via HateHateHate records.

Look for a debut album out this spring, performances at SXSW, and tours supporting Blood Red Shoes in Europe and Pulled Apart By Horses in the UK, as well as forthcoming dates in North America.
