Biography

Born, bred and based in Stoke-on-Trent in West Midlands UK, an area with a strong working class ethic, alternative rock band Psyence have built their reputation from sheer hard work and endless touring.

Their thundering self-titled debut album was released in August 2019 to critical acclaim. Uber Rock said “If the Foo Fighters managed to be impregnated by Pink Floyd and begot music producing offspring, they would probably sound something along the lines of Psyence.”

‘Cold Blooded Killer’ from the debut album was featured in hit Netflix TV “Pieces of Her” in March 2022 and US prime time CBS TV show “SEAL Team”, in Dec 2020.

Unable to tour in 2020 to support their debut album release, Psyence instead returned to their studio and released two new singles – “Tusk” and “Retrospect”, both contained on the critically acclaimed “Reality or Design” EP released in March 2021.

Developing a fearsome reputation for their incendiary live shows, the band have become firm favourites at the Shiiine On Festivals (and Cruise), as well as having performed at many UK festivals including Kendall Calling, Tramlines, and Festival No 6. They have also supported notable tastemaker acts including The Blinders, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Saint Agnes and Warmduscher.

New single ‘Domino’ was released on 23rd Feb 2022.

Psyence are Steve Pye (lead vocals & guitars), Jamie (Jay) Bellingham, Joe Walsh (drums), Ben Nixon (keys & synthesisers) and Jamie Cartlidge (rhythm guitar and vocals).
