Medway would appear to be centre of all things Psych Pop at the moment. The storming amount of great mid to late 60’s Pop that blasts out of Kent lately is vastly encouraging. Tear Your Minds Wide Open! is splendid Organ driven Psych Pop.
Many can do this, few can do it well, The Galileo 7 have mastered the genre. They even sound like the live version Of The Move on The Habit Machine and Baggy Madchester on Nobody Knows Anything.
However, it’s the Syd Barrett esque Psych that makes most of the dents and this is beautifully done with all four band members driving the sound forward.
Particular mention should be made to Allan Crockford for some great guitar riffing and sterling vocals.
