The Dharma Chain has become known for delivering distinctive andcaptivating live performances across Europe. The band is recognized for
their ethereal and at times offensive guitars, reverb-soaked vocals, and
industrial undercurrents. They have toured extensively across Europe and
Australia, appearing at festivals such as Fusion, Sharpe, Hoflärm, Praise
the Fuzz, Synästhesie Festival and Yonder.
In 2022, following their relocation from Australia to Berlin, TDC signed with
Anomic Records and released their debut studio album, ‘NOWHERE’,
showcasing their unmistakably unique sound.
Emerging from Byron Bay, Australia, and now thriving in Berlin, TDC,
founded in 2020, brings a fluid, ever-shifting approach to their live
performances. With no front person, roles constantly shift between
members, allowing multiple singers and guitarists to build a powerful
wall of sound. This creates a dynamic and unpredictable live experience,
where the collaborative energy forms the backbone of their music,
ensuring each performance feels like a new journey - constantly evolving
and never static.
Their debut studio album, NOWHERE, has garnered significant recognition, including
being named Feature Album of the Week on multiple radio stations. It has received
airplay on 55 stations worldwide, with highlights including a live performance on
Radio Eins (Germany) and spins on stations such as Amazing Radio (UK/USA),
Triple R (Australia), and Radio 3 (Spain).
The album was recorded in an abandoned church in the Gold Coast Hinterland with
later sessions in a Berlin basement studio. The album spans a spectrum from
abrasive and apocalyptic to vulnerable and soft, mirroring the band’s transition from
Australia to Berlin and their evolving creative journey.
What they say……
“The driving rhythm section lifts the ethereal din of guitar swathes and reverbed
vocals. Their music has that retro-futuristic 90s psych vibe, that revamped nostalgia
line where the classic hazy drone is infused with RnR sex and sleaze. The show at
Sharpe showed they deserve to be big players on the European psych scene”
— Under The Radar (USA)
“Berlin really comes through on this one, with a strong aggressive and industrial
undercurrent to proceedings; all delivered with a healthy dose of fuzzy guitars, of
course.” — The AU Review (Australia)
“The song crescendos and the empty space are filled in with driving drums and
fuzzy guitar noise the characters awaken from their daze and flee from the spectre,
ultimately uniting and thus escaping their isolation. An impressive metaphor in which
sound and visual elements are in perfect harmony giving an outstanding result that
demonstrates the savoir-faire of The Dharma Chain.”
— Metal Magazine (Spain)
“It’s a serene nod to shoegaze and fever dreams, and draws sonic inspiration from
the masters, such as Ride and Slowdive. Succumb to the wall of sound and drown
in the fluttering harmonic delays.” — Psychedelic Baby Magazine (Slovenia)
