\n
It’s Saturday night, there’s a shedload of effects pedals in the house and 2 bands ready to entertain. We’re in Cornwall’s best small venue, Falmouth’s Cornish Bank which has become a magnet for emerging talent over recent years. To start the night off we have one of Cornwall’s own (well they’ve moved to Cardiff now but we’ll forgive them…) Enabling Behaviour.<\/p>\n

We take a barrage of fuzz, noise and attitude with a touch of delicate brilliance. They command the stage, and this crowd, a mix of avid fans and interested observers laps up the angry shoegaze that’s dished out to us. Their sound has developed from pure punk to a more complex psychedelic sound of late. Check out recent single Juliet is the Sun and you won’t look back.<\/p>\n

The Cornish Bank is packed, humid, and humming with anticipation. It\u2019s the kind of venue that thrives on intimacy\u2014low ceilings, sticky floors, and a crowd that\u2019s practically breathing down the band\u2019s neck. The Wytches take the stage without ceremony, and within seconds, the room is theirs.<\/p>\n

The Wytches open with Talking Machine, a jagged, lurching beast of a track that sets the tone for the night: raw, reverb-soaked, and gloriously unpolished. This, the title track from the new album gives more than a subtle hint at the quality of the new material. Robe for Juda and Can\u2019t Show How follow in quick succession, each delivered with a twitchy urgency that feels like it could unravel at any moment. Kristian Bell\u2019s vocals veer between haunted croon and guttural howl, dragging the audience through every twisted lyric like a reluctant s\u00e9ance leader.<\/p>\n

Wire Frame Mattress and Coffin Nails throb with doom-laced groove, the rhythm section locking into a hypnotic pulse while guitars spiral into chaotic fuzz. The Holy Tightrope teeters between fragile and feral, a slow-burn descent that leaves the crowd swaying in a kind of trance. Gravedweller, a fan favourite, hits like a ritualistic stomp\u2014heads nodding, limbs flailing, and a few brave souls throwing themselves into a loose approximation of a mosh pit.<\/p>\n

A Dead Night Again and Nothing 2 See offer brief moments of clarity, but even these are laced with unease. The Wytches don\u2019t do comfort\u2014they do catharsis. Wide at Midnight and Perform stretch the tension further, each track a sonic exorcism that leaves the room a little more frayed around the edges.<\/p>\n

Fragile Male for Sale and World Too Old are standouts, ugly-beautiful anthems dredged from the bottom of a haunted canal. There\u2019s humour here, too\u2014dark, self-aware, and laced with irony. Bell doesn\u2019t say much between songs, but when he does, it\u2019s dry and perfectly timed, like a man who knows the power of silence.<\/p>\n

Three Mile Ditch and Factory bring the energy back up, the band leaning into their heavier instincts with a ferocity that feels almost reckless. By the time Meat Chuck rolls around, the room is a sweaty, grinning mess. It\u2019s a final, glorious descent into madness\u2014no encore, no apologies, just a wall of sound and a crowd that wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n

The huge queue for the merch stand says it all, and we leave grinning, clutching t-shirts and vinyl.<\/p>\n

The Wytches UK tour is only just under way. Go and see them near you.<\/p>\n
