New Psych/Fuzz Discovery: Purple Heart Parade - "The Room" - free download


Manchester band Purple Heart Parade is playing some engaging, heavy psychedelic rock - recommended if you like Oasis and Tame Impala, especially if you like the idea of Tame Impala-style psych with plenty of guitar fuzz laid in. Lead singer is Peter Cowap, with Ryan Arnfield and Sam “Budgie” Bugajski on guitars, drummer Tom Mallas and Bass-player Ste Woods. They have built an enjoyable wall of sound with a pounding rhythm section supported by a devastating guitar attack - with plenty of guitar effects in the bargain.

They'll be appearing at the Glasgow Psych Fest. I have to say, it makes me happy that there is such a thing as a Glasgow Psych Fest.

Here's "The Room", first a live video, then an online track which they've kindly made available for free download:
