Doom Side of the Moon Releases Surprise EP Encore

In August of 2017, Doom Side of the Moon played its first ever show. The show that night wasn’t the only thing this group did to celebrate Dark Side Of The Moon’s fiftieth anniversary. The band covered Pink Floyd’s entire album and replaced the word ‘dark’ with ‘doom’ for its title. Released on the same day as Pink Floyd’s debut album, August fourth, Doom Side Of The Moon reached number eighty-one, compared to Pink Floyd’s 196 in 1967.

On January twelfth, Doom Side Of The Moon released a surprise EP entitled Encore. The band played two of the album’s songs during their August debut—their own version of “Dark Side Of The Moon” and a slew of Pink Floyd covers that the band characterizes as “Sabbath takes,” meaning Pink Floyd in the style of Black Sabbath. “Have A Cigar” already has a video that came out along with the surprise EP.

The group recorded at Big Orange Recording Studios in Austin, Texas with Grammy-award winner Stuart Sikes at the helm. There will be a “sludged out” green vinyl that will play three tracks on one side available in mid-March. Watch their video for “Have A Cigar” below.

Conrad Brittenham: My name is Conrad. I am one year out of college and pursuing a career in writing and journalism. I studied literature at Bard College, in the Hudson Valley. My thesis focuses on the literal and figurative uses of disease in Herman Melville’s most famous works, including Moby-Dick, Benito Cereno, and Billy Budd. My literary research on the topic of disease carried over to more historical findings about how humans tend to deal with and think about the problem of virus and infectivity. I’ve worked at a newspaper and an ad agency, as well as for the past year at an after school program, called The Brooklyn Robot Foundry. All of these positions have influenced the way I approach my work, my writing, and the way I interact with others in a professional setting. I’ve lived in London and New York, and have always had a unique perspective on international cultural matters. I am an avid drawer and a guitarist, but I would like to eventually work for a major news publication as an investigative journalist.
