LIMITED TO 200 COPIES. Scott Hepple and the Sun Band are a Psychedelic Rock Band from Newcastle, UK. The band favours a 60's/70's sound, with influences including Neil Young, Black Sabbath, The Beatles and Ty Segall. Debut album Ashes to Wildflowers was recorded analogue with Maximo Park's Duncan Lloyd, and was mastered by the renowned Chicago-based engineer Carl Saff (Sonic Youth, Ty Segall, J Mascis). "The album's main theme of reincarnation goes hand in hand with the production" Scott says. "I wanted to produce the overdriven raw analogue sound that was rife in the late 60's/early 70s, which is where I take alot of my inspiration from". The band have supported Love, Teke Teke, Nice Biscuit, GIFT and Ghost Woman.
Newcastle psych outfit that pushes out the freak-folk and canyon-esque grooves with smears of psych and a little garage too. Already getting some choice gigs this album should break them to a whole other scene and set off another wave of lysergic love across the land!
