The Schizophonics are back! Returning to Brighton on the back of their last sold out show in 2025!

Amps screaming. No exit in sight. The Schizophonics kick the door in and never let it close. This San Diego–based three-piece delivers a live show that’s loud and dangerously fun—an all-gas, no-brakes blast of feedback and groove. It’s full-contact rock ’n’ roll: high voltage, high velocity, and sharpened to a blade.

The band features Pat Beers on vocals and guitar, Lety Beers on drums, and Sarah Linton on bass. Together they unleash a fuzz-soaked, funk-fueled attack built on pounding rhythm and feral energy. Every song hits like a charge. Every set feels like the floor might give out. Blink and you miss something. Stand
still and you get run over.

Forged on the road and fueled by motion, The Schizophonics have torn through stages in fourteen countries, earning a reputation as a must-see live act that turns rooms upside down. Channeling the raw spirit of James Brown, Iggy Pop,
Jimi Hendrix, Little Richard, and The Sonics, they strip rock back to its most dangerous elements—and set them loose. Behind the chaos is precision.

Behind the noise are hooks that bite. The Schizophonics are currently finishing their fourth full-length album, due out at the end of 2026
