DDT
Northern California’s DDT formed in early 2019, amid a month-long January rain. Comprised of past, present and future members of Carlton Melton and White Manna, DDT released their debut album, ‘Enter The Bend’, on Drone Rock Records in late 2019. ‘Enter The Bend’ is an album of improvisations and one takes that captures DDT’s first musical moments. Their second album, ‘Freshwater’, was released in the summer of 2021, again on Drone Rock Records. Their latest record, ‘Sweat of the Sun’ is due to be released on Drone Rock Records in Spring ’24.

Psychic Lemon
Psychic Lemon make dark psych for Austerity Britain. They are the essence of a DIY band in 2024: recording, engineering, producing and mastering their music themselves. The band’s influences are broad, but choice artists include Goat and Hawkwind.
They live in Cambridge, the most unequal city in the UK. The band used to play in a shed in the garden of a council house, but have since moved up the property ladder to an industrial estate on the outskirts of town.
Unable to play during lockdown, the band put together their favourite unreleased tracks and made them available to download for free. This compilation eventually ran to four hours across six albums, with each album receiving a physical release on Weird Beard Records.
Live, Psychic Lemon have played gigs all over the UK, including headlining Norwich Psych Fest and playing alongside bands such as helicon, GNOD and Carlton Melton. In Europe, they’ve gigged in Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands.
They have released vinyl albums on Drone Rock Records (UK) and Tonzonen Records (DE).
