Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats – Masters of Occult Rock with a Sinister Edge

Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats (written as Uncle Acid and the deadbeats or simply Uncle Acid) are an English Psychedelic rock and Doom metal band formed in Cambridge by Kevin Starrs. Known for their distinctive blend of retro hard rock, psychedelic grooves, and occult-inspired themes, the band have built a devoted following across the globe. Their music combines eerie atmospheres, fuzzy riffs, and vintage production to create a sound that feels both timeless and menacing.

Over the years, Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats have released multiple studio albums, with Nell' Ora Blu (2024) being their latest, alongside a number of singles that cement their reputation as torchbearers of old-school occult rock.

Sound and Line-up

The band’s sound is defined by swirling psychedelic guitar riffs, driving basslines, and haunting vocals that channel both classic 70s rock and doom-laden atmospheres. Their songs often explore dark, cinematic themes with a vintage production aesthetic, giving their music a hypnotic and slightly sinister feel.

The current line-up is Kevin R. Starrs ("Uncle Acid") – lead guitar, lead vocals, organ; Vaughn Stokes – rhythm guitar, backing vocals; Jon Rice – drums; Justin Smith – bass; and George Hudson – guitar. Together, they continue to deliver the immersive, retro-inspired sound that has become the band’s signature.
