About Me


Crossing the lines of style and genre, Psycle, a four piece powerhouse, perfects a mix of old and new school stylings to create an explosive, heavy, groove rock based sound with influences ranging from Tool, Alice in Chains and the Deftones to Pink Floyd, Parliament, Electric Light Orchestra and more.
Lead singer Paul Fenner's uniquely styled vocals command the listener's attention both live and in recordings. With an emotional yet powerful sound coupled with an enormous stage presence, Paul is easily able to captivate a diverse audience. The broad influence base of the creative musical core of the band builds a solid foundation upon which Paul is able to set his theatrical throne.
Psycle track seamlessly from heavy, groove laden riff rock with haunting melodic elements into moody, gut wrenching orchestrations all with relative ease. Musically, the band's goal is to hook the listener with not only catchy, but well thought out songs that compliment the lyrical content. Psycle's sound is best described as sometimes dark, often heavy, occasionally pop-like but always powerful and impassioned. The image of the band reflects its rock n' roll roots and darker eclectic side while still embodying the youthfulness of its members.
Psycle are no strangers to big shows. Participating in events and sharing the stage with acts such as Godsmack, Incubus, Staind, 3 Doors Down, The Gin Blossoms, Alterbridge, Sevendust, M.C. Hammer, Twisted Sister, Shinedown, 30 Seconds to Mars, etc., they are merely one well placed opportunity away from obtaining thier own national success.
A catchy, diverse, and powerful sound combined with a strong work ethic is what Psycle has to offer to their fans as well as industry professionals alike. Psycle are currently signed with Deep South Digital for electronic distribution and are always seeking additional professional interest groups or major label interest. The band has one self titled release available through emusic, itunes or www.cdbaby.com . and a second record "Sins of Angels" has just been released and is under a digital distribution contract with Deep South records and is also available on itunes and other digital sources. Buy a hard copy from us and you get the bonus track, a cover of Duran Duran's "undone".
Psycle's music is featured in two full length independant films. One is Charlotte local film maker Adam Fox's "Circling Serita" (hitting the festival circuit in september) with two song placements and the other is local film group Peoplefoodfilms' "Chickenheart" as the sound of the movie's focal point, a band called Chickenheart. Psycle is also in regular rotation on 106.5's 90 Minutes. Email Divakar at 1065.com and request to hear Psycle!

Sorry for the crappy sounding audio below. This clip was live at the Speed Street festival in downtown Charlotte, N.C. It was so loud that it distorted the camera mic's.

So, we have over 10,000 friends on here and have yet to have sold one single cd or shirt to one of you through myspace. Most other bands won't admit it, but they have the same problem too.  Those...

If you hadn't heard, or noticed by now, Psycle has undergone a little bit of a change. Back around Thanksgiving we parted ways with our long time singer, Shane. It was a mutual decision between him an...
