Helicon was formed in 2011 by brothers John-Paul and Gary Hughes in East Kilbride, Glasgow. Appalled by the mundane, mediocrity of mainstream music; rather than moan about it, they offered up an alternative. “Channeling the cosmic noise of their Scottish homeland and sitar-led, opium-tainted sounds of India with the neo-psychedelic swoons of 90s San Francisco”. Helicon has released 3 x singles, 9 x EPs, 3 x studio albums, 1 x Fuzz Club live session album and 1 x Live In London LP released in February 2024. Helicon signed to Fuzz Club in 2017. Their self-titled debut album was recorded and produced by Tony Doogan at Mogwai's Castle of Doom studio in Glasgow. They recently collaborated with Will Carruthers (ex-Spacemen 3 , The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spiritualized, Dead Skeletons) for the hilariously profound, mind-melting single 'Im More English Than You, You C*nt!'. HELICON is: John-Paul Hughes, Gary Hughes Graham Gordon, Mike Hastings, Mark McLure, Billy Docherty, Seb Jonsen.

Formed on the outskirts of London under the solemn obligation to ‘make some weird music,’ they are now proving to be a formidable force on the live circuit. Through blistering sets and ecstatic jamming, their sound has evolved from the outer reaches of ethereal space-rock to a uniquely heavy psychedelia. Chanted, distant vocals echo in the distance over pounding drums, seismic bass and cascading guitars, melding together into a brutal cosmic cacophony. Epiphanies are guaranteed.
