Psychocide-Alcohol & Bad Decisions

Self-release/Independent
2017

Formed in 2013 in New York City by vocalist/guitarist Goldwyn Thandrayen, Psychocide is a upbeat hard & heavy rock band that now calls Montreal, Quebec it's home base of operations.  The self-produced "Alcohol & Bad Decisions" serves as Pyschocide's debut album and it is a strange (if not somewhat satisfying) offering. Seeing as the band's influences range from Mötley Crüe to Muse (by way of System of a Down and any number of radio-friendly mid-90's pop punk bands!) you're bound to have that! If not for the catchy nature of this material (memorable lyrics and well-structured songs are the name of the game here) and the energetic attitude of Goldwyn Thandrayen and company this could have been one huge mess. For whatever reason though it works. If you have ever wondered what a hard rock band would sound like if they drew inspiration from all the best things that the eighties and nineties had to offer (Depeche Mode and Dangerous Toys influences on a lone album? I'm in!) then this is the group that you've been waiting for! You can check out this album at your leisure by heading to the highlighted link above.
