"Aaaaah no, it´s only Stoner Rock, but ai like it" Stoner Rock with a humble attitude and not the big posing thang like Monster Magnet and others. Three grey-bearded guys who know how to rock heavily with a quite relaxed and laid-back attitude. The bass crunches properly, the guitar fuzzes and the song conveys a 100% feeling of cruising in a muscle car. It's fun, of course it's not particularly new, but it rocks and the band would do quite well as a warm-up act at a festival. The whole album...

The second edition of Praise the Fuzz is first of all the smallest festivals compared to the other SOL-festivals. Well, it should slowly but surely establish itself in this place. The relatively central location will be accommodated in the long term of the establishment. Likewise the time on September 28, 2024. There is a lot of new music to discover before Naxatras and Color Haze will deliver their stuff as usual. Electric Jugs is one of the countless duos in the actual scene. These guys will...

The album kicks off with "Afghansk Rev," which doesn't waste time—straight out the gate, it's a psychedelic, riff-heavy trip that sets the mood for the whole show. Then, we get blasted with "Rice," a stoner rock wrecking ball that's 100% SLOMOSA at their finest: gutsy, grungy, and packing a chorus that lodges itself in your brain like it's paying rent. "Cabin Fever" rolls in next, keeping the volume cranked and the energy high, but with a twist—some bluesy vibes and a riff that screams...

The American heavy and dark rock band SPIRIT MOTHER has released their new single "Veins," from their upcoming second album "Trails," set for release on September 13 via HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS Records. Bassist and vocalist Armand Lance describes "Veins" as a minimalist nightmare, balanced with atonality, melodic violin lines, and vocals. The song features essential elements only, with no unnecessary additions. "Trails" captures the energy of Spirit Mother's visceral live performances while...

If tags don't seem to fit together at first glance, it could be that someone is trying to describe the British band Elephant Tree in a few terms. At first I thought that the band Travis had recorded a fuzzed metal album or that Fran Healey from Travis had moved to North Carolina to jam with a few local sludge bands. No, not any of those things, it's our favorite weirdos Elephant Tree. The previously released song "Try" sounds like you're being run over by a bulldozer driven by the...

There was a San Francisco based band in 1982 who first get the NWoBHM to US by playing their riffs and songs faster. The press called it Thrash Metal and the band called Metallica. Nowadys, a LA based band browsed in some NWoBHM bands like Blitzkrieg - for their song "Brainded Warrior", or overtake Hawkwind´s "Master of the Universe" opening riff for the opener "Scavenger" or Amon Amarth´s "Pursuit of Vikings" for the song "Voices of the Paranoid". The Zig Zags put a lot of dirt and fuzz into...

Could be difficult to appreciate this record after the loss of Alex and Josh and it takes a few listenings to get into this record. It´s not the straight ahead thing as on their previous records, everything sounds quite controlled, even Ryan´s voice. The record sounds brilliant and if such a remarkable voice stopped sounding like itself and the rest of the band invented itself new, then it´s really art to create such an album. I´m looking forward to the new chemistry between the three-piece...

I guess, if you want to rock in the Netherlands, you will find huge foot steps made by Peter Pan Speedrock and it could be difficult to find your own way to rock. And it´s good to hear that Hell Valley High carry on the torch of melodic Scandinavian Rock and punky influenced Kick Ass rock with twin guitars and a catchy chorus, doing this on their own way, quite more melodic than PPSR and with a bit more of dirt than most of the Scandinavian bands. Actually, it reads more complicated than it...
