The Psych festival, itself, showcases underground acts such as The Black Angels and The Brian Jonestown Massacre (this year's headliners) and is a growing platform to launch acts into the national arena.
The Laurels are strongly influenced by periphery 90's rock acts such The Jesus And Mary Chain as well as a strong resemblance to the later Beatles "looser" song structure and and early Oasis vocal harmonics as heard in there first EP Mesozoic in July of 2011. Their new full-length album Plains was just released in July of 2012 on the Australian Rice Is Nice label.
