The Dharma Chain is a band originally formed in Byron Bay, Australia, in 2020 and now based in Berlin. Known for their fluid, collaborative approach—with no fixed front person and constantly shifting roles between members—the band creates a powerful wall of sound built from reverb-soaked vocals, ethereal yet abrasive guitars, and industrial undercurrents, making them difficult to categorize, as they fuse elements of neo-psychedelia, shoegaze, post punk and 70s rock and roll. Their dynamic live shows have earned them a reputation across the globe, with appearances at festivals and showcases including SXSW (USA), Fusion (DE), Sharpe (SK), Synästhesie (DE), Duna Jam (IT), U&D (DE) Hoflärm (DE) and Yonder (AU).

After relocating to Berlin, the band released their debut album ’Nowhere' (2022) via Anomic Records (DE). Recorded between an abandoned church in Australia’s Gold Coast Hinterland and an East Berlin basement studio, the album received international radio support across more than 50 stations, including Radio Eins (DE), Amazing Radio (UK/USA), Triple R (AU) and Radio 3 (ES). In 2025, the band released the standalone single "See Through” via Spinda Records (ES), which later on was remixed by Berlin-based DJ and producer Mike Midnight, ahead of their second full-length album.

In 2026, The Dharma Chain partnered with Spinda Records (ES), in collaboration with Le Cèpe Records (FR), Clostridium Records (DE), Echodelick Records (UK) and Dirty Filthy Records (UK), for their second full-length album, 'Some Kind Of Pure State', set to be released June 5th, 2026. Recorded at Funkhaus Berlin and produced by Jonathan Dreyfus, the album captures a band shaped by movement finally coming to rest —more grounded, focused, and refining their identity without losing the rawness that defined their beginnings. 'Some Kind of Pure State’ is about the clarity that follows chaos; a document of transformation shaped by the quiet disorientation of change. The album weaves together themes of love in its many forms, addiction, political currents, and the search for meaning in the everyday. These ideas emerge as reflections rather than declarations, born from the turbulence and tenderness of life in flux.

In 2026, The Dharma Chain will appear at Desertfest Berlin, Fuzz Club Festival, Brighton Psych Fest and Manchester Psych Fest, alongside extensive touring
across France, the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Germany.
