WYRD SEASONS

Description

"This time around there are no musical influences as such," says Scott Hepple of his quartet's fiery new album, Wyrd Seasons, which spans intense hard rock, psychedelia and woozy ballads, liberally peppered with memorable hooks and solos. "The songs are more inspired by the world around us. The album definitely contains our heaviest, moodiest and most introspective material to date." Since early 2025 the group has consisted of Scott (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Sam Taylor (guitar), Alfred Annable (bass) and Luc Hindmarch (drums). They've toured widely and found a distinctive sound and style in the process, emerging from a period of reverence to their key influences - the Beatles, Neil Young, Black Sabbath, Pentangle, Uncle Acid and others - to devise a more personal sound. They recorded Wyrd Seasons on an 8-track tape machine at their studio in Newcastle over the course of the summer and autumn of 2025. The result perfectly captures their power and immediacy.
