Hyper Tensions are a midwest rock and roll band laced with equal parts punk and psychedelia. Originally formed in the farmland of southern Indiana way back in the early 2010's, the band now finds a permanent home in Indianapolis where you can frequently find them playing at local haunts such as State Street Pub and Healer. After the release of 2020's "Evil Seeds" the band continued writing and sewing together the fabric that would create "Sick Soother". Recorded on a Fostex tape machine by Jerome Westercamp (Vacation), "Sick Soother" finds Hyper Tensions sticking to their raw garage rock approach but also adds elements of funky percussion, layers of synthesizer, and what appears to be that funny little electric jug sound made famous by Texas psych pioneers the 13th Floor Elevators. "If 1960's garage rock had a baby with 1970's New York punk and the only thing the baby listened to was a few kosmische records from 1970's Germany."

LPR-224 ‘Saved by the’ Touch LP OUT NOW!

This was a joint venture so I only have about 25 copies of this. Thx to The Touch for letting me be a part of it.

The Touch was founded in 2016 by Ernest Mahoney, after dissolving his project Mahoney & The Pliers.  They would go on to record and release their debut full length the following year, “Cold To”. Though the album saw little acclaim, its endorsement from the punk community is noteworthy.  Produced by and also featuring Jerri Queen and Jon Hoffman of renown Cincinnati punk outfit Vacation. With features also from Evan Wolf (Vacation), Jen Shagawat (Shellshag), and Tony Bogdanowicz (The Switzerlands, Rolling Stony, The Little Richards). “Cold To” The Touch saw a physical tape release via Starcleaner and Cat Dead Details Later Records.

After a lineup change in 2019, The Touch began working on their sophomore album “Saved By”. This time produced by the band themselves at their headquarters, Bonfire Nation, in Mansfield, OH. “Saved By” released digitally October 28, 2022 and had a collaborative vinyl release on March 17 via Lets Pretend Records - Starcleaner Records - Wolfbatz Records - Bonfire Nation Ltd - Henry Screen Printing
