Helicon have become a mythical force in the UK underground over the last 10 years. The band was formed by brothers John-Paul and Gary Hughes in East Kilbride, Glasgow. Disgusted by the mundane, mediocrity of mainstream music; rather than moan about it, they did something about it. They created an alternative. Channeling the cosmic noise of their Scottish homeland and sitar-led, opium-tainted sounds of India with the neo-psychedelic swoons of 90s San Francisco. Helicon has released 3 x singles, 9 x EPs, 2 x studio albums and 1 x Fuzz Club live session album. The band signed to FuzzClub in 2017 .

Their self-titled debut album was recorded and produced by Tony Doogan at Mogwai's Castle of Doom Studio in Glasgow. More recently the band collaborated with Will Carruthers (ex- Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Dead Skeletons, The Brian Jonestown Massacre) for the hilarious, mind-melting single 'Im More English Than You, You Cunt!'.

HELICON is: John-Paul Hughes, Graham Gordon, Mike Hastings, Mark McLure, Billy Docherty, Seb Jonsen, Gary Hughes.
