The Wytches
Forming in 2011 after meeting in Brighton College, the four piece has been a longstanding part of the UK punk scene, gaining support from the likes of Pitchfork, DIY, The Line Of Best Fit, The Needledrop, CRACK, Consequence, FLOOD, The Guardian, NME, and more whilst touring extensively.
The rapid change in technology over the last few years had a profound effect on the band, seeping its way into the bones of the record. With AI being a hot topic, the name of their most recent album is taken from a book about Thomas Edison whose nickname for gramophones was Talking Machine.
He would host events called Tone Tests demonstrating how much audio recordings had advanced by fooling the audience into thinking they were listening to musicians playing live but it was actually all pre-recorded, playing from a gramophone. People feared that a lot of jobs in the entertainment industry and beyond would be replaced by technology, a lot like what’s going on now.
