MAGASIN 4 PRESENTS :WICCANS (US) (Hardcore Punk / Anarcho Punk)
Formed in 2009 in Denton, Texas, Wiccans emerged as a ferocious yet hypnotic force in hardcore punk, blending the raw aggression of early Boston hardcore with the swirling, melodic mysticism of '70s psychedelic rock. Often described as what would happen if SS Decontrol and Blue Öyster Cult violently collided, the band carved out a singular niche with their wild, inventive sound.
At the core of Wiccans’ appeal is their ability to juxtapose insanely melodic, reverb-drenched guitar lines with tough, snarling vocals, all propelled by a relentless, driving rhythm section. Their music balances raw power and eerie catchiness, making them one of the most compelling hardcore bands of their era. Tracks like "Drug Dealer" and "Basket Case" showcase their knack for merging fist-pumping punk energy with lysergic, almost cinematic atmosphere.
Though rooted in Denton’s thriving DIY scene, Wiccans became closely associated with Austin’s underground as their reputation grew. Their live shows were chaotic and electrifying, further cementing their status as cult favorites. With a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking, Wiccans remain a benchmark for bands looking to push hardcore into stranger, more adventurous territories.
For fans of: The Spits, Rudimentary Peni, Fucked Up, and the weird crossroads where punk meets the cosmos.*
