Thee Hypnotics is an English garage/psychedelic rock band that formed in 1985 in High Wycombe. They were pioneers of the early alternative rock scene, releasing two full-length albums and an EP from 1989-1990 before their drummer's unfortunate car accident during a US tour forced them into a hiatus. Despite never achieving mainstream success like their contemporaries The Black Crowes, Thee Hypnotics' music was heavily influenced by late-60s bands such as The Stooges, MC5, The Doors, early Led Zeppelin, and Pink Fairies.
After disbanding in 1998, they made a triumphant comeback in 2018 with the release of the box set "Righteously Re-Charged," which includes all of their studio albums. The current lineup consists of Jim Jones on vocals, Ray Hanson on guitar, Phil Smith on drums (since 1990 and again since 2018), and Jeremy Cottingham on bass (since 1997 and again since 2018).
Thee Hypnotics are often regarded as a largely-forgotten precursor to today's stoner rock genre. If you enjoy artists like The Lords of Altamont, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, or The Jim Jones Revue, then you won't want to miss out on experiencing the raw energy and psychedelic soundscapes that define Thee Hypnotics' unique musical style.</p

Nineties hell-raising rock ‘n’ rollers Thee Hypnotics release Righteously Recharged, a coloured, heavyweight vinyl anthology including rare and unreleased material via Beggars Arkive. Righteously Recharged features four LPs including Thee Hypnotics’ acclaimed debut album Come Down Heavy (on violet coloured vinyl), the swamp-rock follow-up Soul, Glitter and Sin (on red coloured vinyl) and their Chris Robinson, Black Crowes produced third album The Very Crystal Speed Machine (which never saw a UK release and is on clear vinyl), along with a fourth disc, called In A Trance on white vinyl, with their very first single Love In A Different Vein plus early demos and Peel Sessions. The set also contains in-depth liner notes by journalist Julian Marszalek, featuring interviews with the band and a savvy look at the band’s rip-roaring career, featuring outrageous tales of rock ‘n’ roll excess and exhilaration. Taking their cues from the Detroit militancy of The MC5, the corrupting output of The Stooges and the gospel according to The Cramps, Thee Hypnotics’ devastating brand of rock ‘n’ roll was propelled by near punishing decibel levels and a fervour bordering on the evangelical. Blazing a devastating trail of high-octane thrills and annihilation, Thee Hypnotics occupied a bizarre hinterland that sat somewhere between the British neo-psychedelic scene of the late 80s and the detonation of garage- influenced rock from the Pacific northwest of the early 90s. Little wonder that a band that shone so bright would burn out before the end of the century.
