PODCAST - ep004 - Faster, Pussycat

There are so many mind-blowing songs coming out right now that it's incredibly difficult to pare it all down to one concise hour of the best music, but I've tried once again. The song to song flow may be a bit off, but what can you do when amazing bands are coming at you left, right and center with all kinds of different styles? You just dig your heels in and enjoy the barrage. I fixed the audio so that the levels were about even on all the songs but I don't think it worked out too well so if you wildly different volumes levels on some of the songs here, I apologize.

PSYCHIC WOUNDS - Self-Titled single

This was shared earlier by MrStoneBeliever. Two song single/EP from a new band out of Maine. The decidedly Uncle Acid-like opener ("Wandering Soul") drives forward at a good pace. The riff is familiar but has a good feel. This is more rawboned than Uncle Acid, the song builds to a hellish crescendo of noise. The second track ("Interstellar Nightmare") has a Windhand meets White Stripes thing which is odd but good. The songs combine for 9 minutes total and it's PAY-WHAT-YOU-WANT.

Here's what the band has to say about itself on bandcamp:

Psychic Wounds crack open a can of 70s psychedelia and imbue the whole with classic riffing and uncanny experimentation leading you off the gravitational pull and into a restless void while being screeched at profusely and with heinous lament. Not for the vain nor the unguided.

I'm certain I want to hear more from this band. Right now their sound is not entirely unlike a Doctor Smoke. This won't appeal to everyone but I have an idea that if you're here reading about this type of music, then you like a certain style or sound in the first place. Psychic Wounds has that sound.
