Brighton's newest export, Oral Habit, is taking the psychedelic rock scene by storm with their ear-rattling sound. Characterized as "the ear-rattling psychic dream of choked-up acid punks," this trio's music feels like a chaotic explosion of guitar fuzz, echo-drenched vocals, and primitive riffs that's both intense and overwhelming.
The band's recent EP, Garage Frock!, shows significant growth from their previous work, Cardiovascular Spectacular. The four-track release is an unapologetic display of noise-rock intensity, with tracks like I'm Free and The Coast veering wildly between melodic hooks and crushing, sludgy grinds. It's a sonic philosophy that can be summed up in one phrase: "if a button's there, it's there to be pushed."
Oral Habit's sound is reminiscent of mid-60s freakbeat and the disoriented racket of the era, rather than the more tranquil psychedelia associated with the Summer of Love. This could be attributed to the troubled climate of 2025, which seems to have inspired a new wave of psychedelic rock that's raw, chaotic, and unapologetic.
If you're a fan of Osees, Ty Segall, or the noisier side of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, then Oral Habit is definitely worth checking out. With their explosive sound and uncompromising attitude, this Brighton trio is poised to take the psychedelic rock scene by storm in 2025.

, but I think it's a bit too over-the-top for its own good 
. I mean, i'm all for pushing boundaries and taking risks in music, but some of the tracks feel like they're more noise than actual songwriting 
. that being said, their sound does bring back some sick mid-60s freakbeat vibes 
, and if you're into Osees or Ty Segall's noisier side, then yeah, Oral Habit's your cup of tea 
️. just don't expect me to be headbanging to every single track 
! It's like the perfect antidote to all the chillwave and indie-folk nonsense out there. Oral Habit is bringing back the intensity and raw energy that I used to get from bands like The Stooges or MC5. Their sound is so unapologetically loud and chaotic, it's like they're trying to make up for everything that's missing in modern music 
I'm all for raw energy and intensity in my rock music, but can we please talk about how some of that garage rock can be kinda... rough around the edges? Like, I get it, it's intentional, but do they have to make it so hard on the ears? 
[ 
] I'm Free and The Coast got me HYPED! 
it's like they're tapping into this raw energy that's totally refreshing after all the polished psychedelia we've been hearing lately. I love how they're not afraid to push boundaries and create this chaotic, intense sound that's both beautiful and unsettling at the same time. It feels so relevant for our crazy world in 2025 
. And that's what resonates, you know? The fact that they're not afraid to be messy and take risks with their music. It feels super authentic, like they're speaking truth or whatever 
. I'm loving this new wave of psychedelic rock, it's like a breath of fresh air 
!
. The guitar fuzz and echo-drenched vocals are definitely intense, but is it really "chaotic explosion of noise-rock intensity" or just a bunch of loud guitars? And what's with the comparison to mid-60s freakbeat? That was more about rebellion than raw energy... Plus, I'm still waiting for some actual sources on how this band fits into the psychedelic rock scene in 2025 
. No one seems to be talking about the context or influences...
their new EP Garage Frock! is insane!! i love how they're not afraid to get loud & wild with their music - it's like a sonic scream that just makes me wanna move my body! 
and the vibe is so nostalgic, I can totally hear the mid-60s freakbeat influence. Oral Habit is definitely on my radar for 2025 - if you're into Osees & Ty Segall, you gotta check them out! 
. also, if you want raw, chaotic energy, can't you just listen to some old Stooges or The Velvet Underground instead? they pioneered that sound way before Oral Habit came along 
. If you're a fan of those bands you mentioned, Oral Habit's definitely worth checking out - trust me, their live shows will be INSANE 
!
