However, Mascis does not play guitar for the band; he plays his first instrument, the drums. To complete the band's lineup, Mascis and Sweetapple recruited the guitarist and vocalist, Kyle Thomas, from avant-folk group Feathers. Their eponymous debut album was released on March 7, 2006. They also contributed an alternate version of the song \"Rip Van Winkle\" to the Invaders compilation, which was released by Kemado Records later that year. Their latest album Paralyzed was released on March 18, 2008. \n Style\nWitch's trademark sound (particularly in their early work) shows obvious Black Sabbath influence. Black Flag influence was also noted for their sophomore effort, Paralyzed. \n Influences: \nWitch's various members have many influences that have given them their trademark style. They include The Wipers, Dead Meadow, and Black Sabbath. \n Band members\nKyle Thomas - vocals, guitar, \nGraham Clise - guitar, \nDave Sweetapple - bass, \nJ Mascis - drums\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Witch+US+","playStationPath":"/stations/283168229/play","stationId":283168229,"bioPath":"/music/Witch+US+/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Skraeckoedlan","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5e6/5e65a46dc2ea6ad44368dd2e0a99a0a1_md.jpg","artistName":"Skraeckoedlan","artistId":459569,"station_id":401310632},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Obsessed","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/28b/28bf5398d6da4954c22586a8f73bcbde_md.jpg","artistName":"The Obsessed","artistId":137149,"station_id":286730068},{"musicPath":"/music/Karma+to+Burn","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/977/977debe61bcf8fd7b5a9f4d4c2556092_md.jpg","artistName":"Karma to Burn","artistId":126844,"station_id":284428701},{"musicPath":"/music/Acid+Bath","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/13e/13ef43ba906f79900185c99547ffaa90_md.jpg","artistName":"Acid Bath","artistId":10742,"station_id":113342384},{"musicPath":"/music/Valley+of+the+Sun","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fe8/fe8cb4e9f9185ae861a5dfb6f653e50b_md.jpg","artistName":"Valley of the Sun","artistId":440150,"station_id":400897488},{"musicPath":"/music/Royal+Thunder","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/46f/46f98d5ef51a390a710363f3dbda0c89_md.jpg","artistName":"Royal Thunder","artistId":340364,"station_id":390384380},{"musicPath":"/music/Saint+Vitus","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/dcc/dcca0738cd935a30c01c0cdebd4181f0_md.jpg","artistName":"Saint Vitus","artistId":127629,"station_id":302918040},{"musicPath":"/music/Black+Rainbows","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8a5/8a5cdc9bbcbfc0c7a44bdd81758798da_md.jpg","artistName":"Black Rainbows","artistId":376938,"station_id":397649536},{"musicPath":"/music/King+Buffalo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bba/bba2c2b1e75e17b81e4e8063cffe0cd6_md.jpg","artistName":"King Buffalo","artistId":459574,"station_id":401310630},{"musicPath":"/music/Jex+Thoth","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4c3/4c3e681bbaf851a470c2432ab0f52e61_md.jpg","artistName":"Jex Thoth","artistId":132682,"station_id":285650636},{"musicPath":"/music/1000mods","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f9f/f9f1cbebaf609054c2091a4badbd0e9a_md.jpg","artistName":"1000mods","artistId":440990,"station_id":400915310},{"musicPath":"/music/Big+Business","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2bc/2bc0677f5502948e0fc7976063688021_md.jpg","artistName":"Big Business","artistId":13860,"station_id":115439083},{"musicPath":"/music/We+Hunt+Buffalo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/519/5191e8942785a941eb03958d5012ebe2_md.jpg","artistName":"We Hunt Buffalo","artistId":394754,"station_id":397934398},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Atomic+Bitchwax","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/868/86808ed3f908d37aafadae8a640c8320_md.jpg","artistName":"The Atomic Bitchwax","artistId":15820,"station_id":144628976},{"musicPath":"/music/Torche","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2a3/2a3da0ae04cc6a6191304c969d325d56_md.jpg","artistName":"Torche","artistId":62952,"station_id":263188512},{"musicPath":"/music/Somali+Yacht+Club","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/585/585639000bcf47959e5fd8ee3d9f3790_md.jpg","artistName":"Somali Yacht Club","artistId":459573,"station_id":401310631},{"musicPath":"/music/Corrosion+of+Conformity","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/88f/88fdc07dc11abf79a8a77637215d25c7_md.jpg","artistName":"Corrosion of Conformity","artistId":10837,"station_id":113387776},{"musicPath":"/music/Pentagram","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/20a/20ab907c13cde4eb2378ae731a812bc1_md.jpg","artistName":"Pentagram","artistId":103824,"station_id":287828572}]}
