Witches are a six-piece rock band from Oxford. Their songs are inventive and wide-ranging, with intense guitars, mariachi trumpet, analogue keyboards and melodic vocal lines coming together to create a truly unique sound.
Of course, you shouldn't take our word for it - you should find out yourself - come to a gig, or listen online. You can also read what the critics say.

Little break
After a very busy year, Witches are having a little break. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped and supported us this year. We hope you had as much fun as we did.
Have a very happy Xmas and New Year. Bye for now.

BBC Introducing session
Check out our live session for BBC Oxford Introducing, recorded on the day of our Expansion launch. You can view the video here and listen back to the show (including two live songs and an interview) here. Oh, and we recommend signing up to the BBC Oxford Introducing podcast to get your weekly local music fix. We're really pleased with the outcome and had a lot of fun, so many thanks to Tim and Dave.
2009/11/03 Single launch and BBC session this Saturday!
This Saturday we're launching our brand new single Expansion at The Cellar in Oxford at our Halloween party presented by Big Hair.
Joining us will be Desert Storm and Les Clochards, and we'll be onstage around 10pm. Doors are at 8.30pm and it'll cost about a fiver to get in (no advance tickets).
There'll be prizes of HMV vouchers and Witches goody bags for the two best Halloween outfits and there'll be limited edition CD singles given away to the first fifty people to make it to the merch desk so get your skates on!
All this plus cheap drinks deals and DJing 'till the early hours. What more could you want?
ALSO, you can hear us before you head out on Saturday evening from 6-7pm when we'll be performing a live session featuring brand new songs for BBC Oxford Introducing. If you miss the show don't worry - you can listen back using iPlayer during the week.
We'll be playing more new songs at the launch - we're really proud of them so be sure to let us know what you think!
See you Saturday.
