Biography
Formed in 2017 in Lethbridge, Alberta, the Decadent Phase brings a fresh take on psychedelic rock. While drawing influence from Spirit, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Buffalo Springfield, and other acts of the golden age of late 60s psychedelia, the Decadent Phase brings a vibrant enthusiasm and positive outlook not often seen in the genre.
Consisting of James Swinney (vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica), Tyler Eresman (lead guitar), Keilan Hakstol (percussion), and Keely Evanoff (bass, harmonies), the Phase maintains a sense of humour and lyrical wit while discussing major concerns of the 21st century, including climate change, income inequality, and work culture. Their debut self-titled EP was released in August 2022 and is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and every major streaming platform.
