Psychic Hit Sign to DHU Records; Fortune’s Wheels EP Coming Soon

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 22nd, 2019 by JJ Koczan

The Fortune’s Wheels EP by Psychic Hit can be streamed in full through the band’s Bandcamp page. Formerly known as Promo 2018 and released on tape, the four-song outing will be pressed in an ultra-limited edition of 66 copies in what DHU Records is calling an “exclusive press.” I won’t quibble with that, but I can’t help but think that especially given the band’s traditionalist aesthetic that “private press” wouldn’t work just as well. No, not everything in the universe needs to be retro, but I mean, imagine 40 years from now trying to hunt down and original copy of this edition of this EP. Doesn’t “private press” just seem right for whatever bragging you’d end up doing for the rest of your life at having encountered such a thing?

Just saying.

Here’s the announcement from the PR wire:

Psychic Hit sign to DHU Records

DHU Records is extremely excited to announce the signing of Oakland, CA Proto Metal Sweethearts Psychic Hit to release their debut EP “Fortune’s Wheels” (DHU038) (previously known as “Promo 2018”) on extremely Limited Edition vinyl!

In a new series of releases by DHU Records known as an Exclusive Press, 66 copies will be pressed on Crystal Clear 180Gr Lathe Cut vinyl through Royal Mint Records.

Oakland, CA based hard rockin proto-metal sweetheart band, Psychic Hit, was formed in 2017 by guitarist Andrea Genevieve (Queen Crescent, Purple Rhinestone Eagle) and vocalist/violinist Ariana Jade (Hedersleben, Nik Turner’s Hawkwind). Having met through the thriving Bay Area rock n roll network, the tenacious pair began to dream up a project that fused their wide-ranging tastes in music. What resulted was a band that would combine the raw power of early Judas Priest and Scorpions, the melodic sensibilities of Fleetwood Mac, and the esoteric appeal of lesser known acts such as Lucifer’s Friend and Flower Travellin’ Band.

In 2018, the duo was joined by bassist Melanie Burkett (Ovvl) and drummer Justin Divver (Funeral Chant). With the talented rhythm section locked in, the four musicians began to embark on a songwriting enterprise that resulted in their first, self-recorded demo in the fall of that year. After the demo was recorded, the band welcomed fifth member, Jake Palladino (Pins of Light, Hightower), to join Andrea Genevieve on guitar.

Although Psychic Hit’s sound is heavily influenced by both 70s greats and rarities, the band is anything but an anachronism. Like modern contemporaries such as Kadavar, Lucifer, and Hällas, Psychic Hit seeks to recast rock music in their own image, rather than to just simply imitate eras past. In an age where the dark forces of monotony and monocracy loom large on the horizon, Psychic Hit appeals to their listeners to embrace the regenerative, communal power of rock n roll.
