Canadian bluesy psych rock outfit Charles Mansion releases their brand new single »It’s Over Now«

Vancouver, Canada based bluesy psych rock outfit Charles Mansion has released their brand new single »It’s Over Now«.

Engineered and mixed by Matt Di Pomponio.

Charles Mansion is a 4 piece bluesy psych rock band based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Originally formed in Kelowna BC, aka Canada’s desert, the band taps into the roots of Joshua Tree’s desert rock flavors and mixes them with some psych, fuzz and a bit of grunge.

Originally formed when JD (guitar) and Mike (drums) met through their girlfriends at the time, who turned out to be sisters. Mike, being a talented drummer, having good taste in music and also not in 19 other bands, was somewhat of a unicorn… a white whale, and JD knew there was only one thing to do and that’s start a band. Mike brought Brendon (bass) on board with whom he had played with in previous bands. A solid 3 piece for sure, but the cake needed some icing… enter Josh (guitar/vocals) who JD had known for years from being around the music scene.

The band clicked instantly, started writing and playing shows. They recorded and released an EP titled »Death By Misadventure« (2018) both online and on vinyl. Their follow up album was thought to have been lost for good, but it was discovered that it’s been on Brendon’s computer this whole time. It’s a little unpolished (but that’s how we like it) and is being released in February 2022 under the name »Demonstrations«.

The band has opened for psych heavyweights Earthless and Sleepy Sun. They also cofounded Tune It Down Turn It Up, (tuneitdownturnitup.com) a multi day psych/stoner/fuzz/doom festival and workshop. The fest featured the legendary Dave Catching in it’s inaugural year, following up the next year with not only Dave again but also long time Queens Of The Stone Age sound man, Patrick “Hutch” Hutchinson.
