Nick Saloman (performing as The Bevis Frond) is a British musician noted for psychedelic rock, low-fidelity guitar jams and a 1960s-influenced approach. He founded Woronzow Records and released the album Miasma (reviewed here).

The supplied DeBaser review (by Rocky) praises Nick Saloman's dedication to psychedelia and lo-fi guitar work, awarding Miasma a 5/5. The review frames Saloman as an outsider championing 1960s-style psych, garage and distorted folk influences. It highlights tracks like "Garden Gate", "She's In Love With Me" and "Wild Mind" and compares elements to Dinosaur Jr., Neil Young, Stooges and Husker Du. The album is called a debut worthy of respect and a psych underground masterpiece.
