As you can tell from the tags, the Lyon-based band is all about power, fun, and rock 'n' roll, combined with drinks, BBQs, and parties. The title track of the new album pushes relentlessly forward with a powerful production and a brilliant balance between grooving and rock, making you want to hear the full album. Their previous album, "Monster Truck," is a staple on our playlists, whether it's Stoner, Best of, or Road Trips, because the band knows how to roll down everything in their path with...

France knows how to do wine, cheese – and apparently, full-throttle stoner punk, too. With Bronca, the band from La Fare Les Oliviers delivers a tight, ten-track album that sounds like a wild road trip through fuzz, fire, and pure DIY spirit. If you’ve seen them live – like at the Rising Dead Boys Festival in September 2024 – you know: these guys don’t play shows, they throw musical punches with a smile. The album kicks off with "Broken Nose", setting a gritty tone that persists...

From the heart of Indonesia's underground scene, WHITEHOVSE emerges with their debut album, The Mighty One, delivering a potent mix of doom and stoner rock that's as heavy as a monsoon and as raw as a jungle trail. This isn't polished studio rock; it's the sound of five musicians pouring their souls into every riff and lyric. The album kicks off with "Endless Sorrow", setting the tone with thick, fuzzy guitar lines and a rhythm section that feels like a slow-moving freight train—unstoppable...

The Dutch band Ditch actually came about out of embarrassment and while jamming, and it's precisely this randomness that gives rise to great songs like the previously released, hard-hitting rocker "Everxyone I Know." It casually references Fu Manchu while still creating its own style. The music reflects a lot of '90s spirit and style, be it grunge, stoner, and a bit of neo-punk, but also, as their previous albums demonstrate, plenty of '70s psychedelic and experimental rock. The song definitely...

The cover looks like the usual Post Rock covers and if you tune in the song, it´s more like the wolf in sheep´s clothing. Pure forward rocking Stoner Rock, performed by Scott Reeder, Tony Reed, Tony Adolescent and Bob Balch. When you listen for the first time, this track rocks and apparently it is the usual chords or power chords that let the track roll really fat. However, if you hear Bob Balch how this song was achieved, it is more complex than you thought when you hear it for the first...

In 2023 we missed the band at the Desertfest in Berlin. That should not happen to us again in 2024 at the Stoned From The Underground, because if the band slowly and unstoppably gets rolling at their concerts like a freight train, then nothing stops. "Jasmine" opens the album, so actually Status quo play with deeper guitars over a monster magnet stack, and so 5 minutes with a brick 70s Boogie with an unequal fat sound. Phil's voice somehow sings something that pulls you into this song with...

What do you expect, when a band is clever enough to blend Kyuss and Fu Manchu with the hypnotic riffin´ from Hawkwind? Yes, Psychlona and "Let´s go" could be a benchmark for their upcoming releases. Hailing from Bradford in the middle of Yorkshire, where you usually won´t expect some desert vibes, Psychlona found out the perfect balance between not being Heavy Metal and not being Blues and not being Rock. This is art and just in case why I put the tag "Driving Rock", there is the song put...

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...

Yes! This rocks! Right sound, right voice, right power, pedal to the metal, music that I missed for quite a long time. So I checked the rest of their promo material and this song is the exception of an almost more Doom and Sludge oriented album. What a pity. This song combines the drive and the power of "Green Machine" and Fu Manchu´s "King of the Road", which made me bang through the whole song.

Brant Björk Trio, featuring Ryan Güt and Mario Lalli, will hit some European roads in late spring. And no tour without an album, so the three legends are working hard to publish their common record.
