About the single:
»Nothing To Hide« is a hypnotic krautrock mantra about being honest with yourself. In a world full of false promises, emotional noise, and constant distraction, it’s easy to lose your way. Finding the path out means letting go of old beliefs and staying open to new ideas. Only those who are truly open to the world and to themselves have nothing to hide. And to have nothing to hide is to be free.
»Nothing To Hide« music video is scheduled for a premiere September 9th on It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine and band’s YouTube.

Sacred Buzz is a Berlin psych band known for their electrifying live presence and deeply immersive soundscapes. Their sonic palette bridges vintage and modern: garage-rock grit, krautrock repetition, mesmerizing drones, and proto-punk drive.
On stage, Sacred Buzz conjures a psychedelic ritual: hypnotic drums, throbbing bass, fuzzy guitar reverberating like a lost transmission, droning organ, lo‑fi vocals and surreal lyrics that will rattle your heart out and drive your soul up to the 13th floor in a hazy dream-like vision.
On 1st November 2024, their debut EP »Radio Radiation« was released on Irish Fuzzed Up & Astromoon Records on cassettes and digitally and received critical acclaim with various radios, blogs, and outlets throughout Europe, the UK, and the US.
Their first LP follows in October 2026 on Sound Effect Records. Built around sci-fi and philosophical undercurrents – nature of reality, illusion, and eternal search – the record unfolds with cinematic scope and vivid imagery. It marks a clear evolution: a more refined, more immersive psych sound, still driven by groove and raw energy.
“Berlin-based psychedelic rock band Sacred Buzz are known for their immersive soundscapes bridging garage rock with krautrock repetition, all in a psych package.” — The Berliner Magazine (DE)
