Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, led by Kevin Starrs, emerged from the British underground in 2009 and have built a world of their own since then.
Their sound mixes the quirky melodies, vocal harmonies and playful arrangements of psychedelic pop with the dissonance, thunder and dark imagery of proto-metal. It is not pure nostalgia: what feels familiar comes across as new.
Live, the songs become a dense, unsettling and compelling experience, with every riff and harmony drawing the audience deeper into the band's labyrinth.
