Simon Oakley and The Witching Hounds are a three-piece rock outfit hailing from East Sussex, England. Blending the gritty defiance of British Rock with the expansive, psychedelic drive of Desert Rock, the band delivers a cinematic alternative, sound built for both the stage and the screen. ​
THE ACCOLADES - The band enters 2026 following a landmark year, including a 3rd Place position at the 2025 Radio Wigwam Awards (Classic, Rock, and Blues category). Their 2025 album In Times Of Mass Delusion established a global presence, surging in the US, UK, and Latin American rock scenes. ​
THE SOUND - With a signature 120–130 BPM pulse, driving bass lines, and haunting harmonica textures, their music evokes the spirit of BoWIE, THE CURE, PINK FLOYD, Hawkwind, LED ZEP and The Cult. From the atmospheric depths of Long Lonely Drive to the raw rebellion of Lies, Damn, Lies, the band captures the friction between the personal and the political. ​
SYNC LICENSING - A project designed for high-impact media, the catalogue is Sync-Ready. All tracks are PRS-registered with instrumentals, stems, and alternate mixes available for film, TV, sports broadcasting, and commercial licensing. ​
UPCOMING - The 2026 era begins with the cinematic single Illogical Pain (Jan 16), followed by the high-velocity protest anthem Lies, Damn, Lies (Feb 2026).
THE WITCHING HOUNDS are :- Simon Oakley - David French - Seth Oakley
