Psylicyde started in 2000 when Lucas and Eric broke off from an infamous punk band seeking a new sound influenced by rock, hip-hop, and reggae – playing anywhere they were able to plug in.

In San Clemente, C.A. 2004, the two were joined by bass player Kevin and Psylicyde was reborn. After playing with likes of Common Sense, Eek-A-Mouse and Barrington Levy, they decided to take their original sound into the studio recording their full-length debut album, Fluctuating Self, in 2008.
