Sampson is a Sydney Psych-Pop-Rock group hailing from the South Coast of NSW. The 5-piece formed back in 2016 with founding members Daniel Hockey (lead vocal, guitar), Joel Morrow (lead guitar), and the Sampson twins; Matthew (bass, BVs, synth), Brendan (drums), before Sam Langley (synth) joined two years later once the band relocated to Sydney.

After releasing 3 singles, Sampson shared their debut EP in 2019 titled From When I Went To Space, which they celebrated with a sold out show at The Chippo.

Influenced by artists such as Tame Impala and Methyl Ethel, Sampson’s music showcases their love for psychedelic layers and a desire to blend genres, with Hip-Hop inspired drum beats and catchy Pop melodies front and centre in their latest release ‘Closer’.

Sampson continue to record their music DIY, and hope to explore a diverse range of sounds and textures with multiple releases in 2021.
