Acid Dad is an American alternative-rock band composed of singer-guitarists, Vaughn
Hunt and Sean Fahey, and drummer, Trevor Mustoe. Vaughn first started recording the
band in his Bushwick, NY basement releasing singles “Brain Body” and their first EP “Let’s
Plan a Robbery.” Appearing live in the New York City rock scene in 2016, Acid Dad quickly
moved to a world stage with their self-titled debut album, released by Greenway Records
in 2018.
During 2020, the band spent their time building a new studio space in Queens, NY, while
continuing to independently produce all their own music, art and even building their own
guitars. With a new space and vision, the band produced their second LP, “Take It From
The Dead,” set to be co-released in June 2021 by Brooklyn’s Greenway Records and
psych powerhouse LEVITATION’s label, The Reverberation Appreciation Society.
“Take It From The Dead” features an array of different influences ranging from 90’s neo-
psych, modern post-punk and 70’s rock-n-roll. Acid Dad has crafted a record that sounds
new, yet feels nostalgic. In contrast to their earlier work, they make use of slower tempos
and expand their sound to include songs that are both more intricate and more hypnotic.
To accompany the new record, the band spent the last year collaborating with video artist
Webb Hunt, producing psych and glitch art videos that form a visual counterpart to the
dreamy distortions of their sound.
Acid Dad is Vaughn Hunt (guitars and vocals), Sean Fahey (guitars and vocals) and Trevor
Mustoe (drums).

Brooklyn alternative rock band Acid Dad are excited to share new track "Get Me High" via
Greenway Records / The Reverberation Appreciation Society. The track and its
accompanying video, featuring intensely psychedelic images by longtime Acid Dad
collaborator Webb Hunt, are available now.
“Since our studio was destroyed by the Hurricane Ida floods, our music has been heavily
influenced by the nature of water,” the band says about the track and video. “‘Get Me High’
is about trying to grasp a breath after unexpectedly losing everything. Inspired by
children’s cartoons, pipe systems, and fluid dynamics, we created Ding Ding, creatures
who find themselves lost in a foreign psychedelic world.”
The band will soon embark on a fall tour with Australian psych rockers Psychedelic Porn
Crumpets, spanning the entirety of October and taking them to cities like Denver, Chicago,
Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Acid Dad's New York City hometown and festival appearances
at Desert Daze and Levitation.
