King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They're an Australian psych rock band who experiment with a lot of different rock subgenres. They've put out a TON of albums in their short time together; all of them are fantastic, and each one is its own unique experience. They often have a narrative theme with each album, sometimes a singular story that goes across the entire album, or multiple albums. They're hippies to their core, so a lot of psychedelic themes and songs about climate change and the oil industry. I used to not really care for psych rock that much, but these guys got me to appreciate it. I can't recommend any one song or album to start with, but I definitely suggest jumping around their discography and just giving some things a listen. If you don't like something, try another album; they're all so unique that there's a pretty good chance they have something you'll enjoy.

I disagree here because I don't think they're really underrated at all. They're fantastic, and generally rated as fantastic by most people who've listened to them. Maybe they're not as popular as they could be, but they're still pretty darn popular.

Lucky enough to be seeing them twice this year with Goose opening for them. Can't wait. Check out Goose if you haven't yet, their production quality is out of this world.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

They play in Vancouver and Whistler quite often. Often enough that they get play time on some college/small town radio stations, and often enough that when I used to catch them on the radio occasionally I'd go: huh....I wonder if this is that king givdbsjf band?
