Preview: The Wytches, Spring King and The Magic Gang @ BST Hyde Park


THE Wytches, Spring King and The Magic Gang have been announced to play an exclusive gig in Hyde Park, London as part of this year's Barclaycard presents British Summertime Hyde Park 2016. Promising new bands, Shame and Dream Wife also join the bill for what is set to be an exciting night of live music in the capital. 

The event, which has been dubbed, Pop Up In The Park, and will be held on 7th July. A limited number of tickets are on sale and are priced at £10 (plus booking fees).

Headliners, The Wytches are expected to debut material from their recently announced second album 'All Your Happy Live' at the show. If the new tracks are anything like we've seen before, fans will certainly be in for a treat. 

Expect chaos and crowd surfing when Manchester's Spring King take to the stage. The band are currently halfway through a whirlwind year. Their debut 'Tell Me If You Like To' met up to the expectations that were set by their frenzied live shows. It's been over a year since the game-changing radio play of their single 'City' by Zane Lowe on Beats 1 and Hyde Park is the next stop on their quest for success. You'd be crazy to miss them.

The Magic Gang are also firm favourites of ours and they've really come into their own over the last twelve months or so. The band, who are currently putting the finishing touches to new material, are selling out tours all over the shop and effortlessly owning every venue they play - their gig at Hyde Park is bound to be no exception. 

If you're after a cracking low-cost night out, Hyde Park is where it's at. Get down there and see some of Britain's most promising new bands in an intimate setting before they take to stages ten times the size.

The Wytches

Psych revivalists The Wytches continue 2013's take on psychedelia with their snarling instrumentation and paisley vibes. Consisting of Kristian Bell (Vocals/Guitar/Organ) Mark Breed (Guitar) Dan Rumsey (Bass) and Gianni Honey (Drums) the band have described their brand of sound as "surf doom" and stand in line amongst fellow psych rockers Temples as poster boys for the resurgence of psych-flecked audio. Since forming in late 2011, The Wytches have cast a spell on Hate Hate Hate Records who they're signed to, and now reside in Brighton where they are paving the way to becoming one of Britain's greatest alternative acts.


Listening to their track Beehive Queen, one thing is clear - the group sound like they have devoured Arctic Monkeys' back catalogue and reissued it with a psychedelic edge. The appeal of this dark and cynical psych band, is summed up neatly through their killer riffs and sense of menace, each track communicates to the listener. Devilishly acidic undertones linger in abundance and leave a sour after taste, and whilst it's more of a hazy strain of 60s influenced rock - the flower power is still there, tiny yet visible. Tripped out and ready to brew a storm; The Wytches are in a league of their own.
