The Deli’s Featured Artist(s) Poll Winners: Harsh Vibes

Harsh Vibes create a brand of psychedelic rock, but it’s certainly not the lovey-dovey, hippity-dippity kind that your parents might have grown up on. Instead, their noisy, introspective compositions may scare some acid-heads straight conjuring up a sense of not belonging which may be a reflection of what mastermind Ragnar Bergan might have felt when he decided to distance himself from the electronic/glitch "scene" that he was once a part of. Finding solace with his guitar and like-minded friends Kyle Reiff (guitar), Peter Sabatino (bass), John Titlow (drums), and Evan Raab (synth), Bergen created his own "scene"/vibe. You can hear what that sounds like live next Monday, July 25 when Harsh Vibes perform a free show at Kung Fu Necktie, but first, check out our interview with Ragnar Bergen HERE for when they recently won our Featured Artist(s) Poll as well as their track “Tripped by a Van” below.
