Part of the Heavenly Records family, Peterborough gritty psychedelic outfit The Wytches announce dates across the UK, including Preston, Outlines Festival in Sheffield and Liverpool - the latter as part of brand new all-day Festival curated by local label Loner Noise, WRONG Festival.

Following the whirlwind success of the band's debut Annabel Dream Reader, they've since toured relentlessly with huge names such as Drenge, The Cribs, and Blood Red Shoes. Their impressive live performances succeeded in picking up a huge fan base along the way - including the likes of BBC 6 Music DJ and living alt-rock encyclopaedia Marc Riley, who has had them appear on his acclaimed show for live sessions a number of times.

 

Two years on, and a second album manages to destroy the second album syndrome stereotype and maintains - and even improves on their untamed, wild and noisy drones from the first. All Your Happy Life pushes boundaries and grabs attention with doom and gloom themes appearing through the cracks of distorted guitar hooks and outlandish shrieks from frontman Kristian Bell.  

Despite their moody exterior, when performing live, The Wytches still demand energy from the crowd with their fast-paced riffs and driving drumbeats. The band are coming to the North West of the UK to showcase their unpolished grungy sound, you can catch them at the dates below. 

The Wytches, Sheffield - Outlines Festival, Friday 3rd March

 

The Wytches,  Manchester - Sound Control, Friday 7th April 

The Wytches, Preston - The Ferret, Thursday 20th April

The Wytches, Liverpool - Wrong Festival, Saturday 22nd April
