Bed Rugs

Bed Rugs are four guys from Antwerp, Belgium (Yannick Aerts, Stijn Boels, Noah Melis, and Arne Omloop) who play thoroughly modern-sounding psychedelic music that harks back to the '60s, but doesn't sound like a nostalgia trip. Their first album, 8th Cloud, was co-released by Munich and Waste My Records in early 2012, then the bandmembers found themselves an in-demand concert attraction. They hit the studio again in November of 2012, recording six songs with producer Neils Hendrix in a church. The resulting EP, Rapids, was mixed by the Bees' Paul Butler and released by Ample Play in May of 2013. ~ Tim Sendra
