Does Sun and Sail Club ring a bell? No? Fair enough. For many, it’s an obscure side project that we don’t quite fully understand. For others it’s the opportunity to talk about its line up, a clear 100% stoner supergroup. But for some weirdos, including myself, Sun and Sail Club has achieved cult status since …

Desertfest Belgium has been an unquestionable household name in the European stoner scene for ten years now. As a birthday cake, the Antwerp promoters invited some of the biggest names to join the party: Russian Circles, Fu Manchu and Monster Magnet. The stoner rock godfathers also had something to celebrate, with a 35th-anniversary European tour …

Elephant Tree. Lowrider. Such an encounter on record falls under astrophysics. The realm of macro and the infinitely large. On a human scale, such a phenomenon occurs as often as a superblue moon (we’ve been talking about this collab since 2021), but in terms of intensity, it’s the equivalent of a supernova. To quote Crowbar, …

This seventh studio album sees the arrival of two new members within the band, and sounds both like a continuation of the Black Tusk sound and a renewal… The four-piece offers us what is the most devastating album …

After their 2018 demo and debut EP, Cleveland post-hardcore and noise trio BRAIN CAVE haven’t dragged their feet, releasing a record each and every year. So here we are today with their sophomore album “Foot Off The Gas”. The band being far too confidential, I had no choice but to chat with their drummer Matthew …

Gnome will never make everyone happy. The Belgian trio offers a unique blend of intensely heavy stoner prog full of self-deprecation and geek humor, somehow deeply dividing our scene. Their world of pointy hats and TikTok choreographies irritates some to the highest degree, while others see it as a breath of fresh air and, most …

Eight years. That’s how long it took the sonic beast that is WHORES to blast yet another storm of bangers. To say that we haven’t seen the time go by would be a lie, so eagerly awaited was the follow-up to “Gold”. And then “War” arrived. Christian Lembach and his sidekicks unleash nine monstrous tracks …

You’ve probably already read everything about one of the most anticipated albums of 2024. Our fellow music writers have already dissected the album in great detail, track by track, and you already have an opinion about SLOMOSA‘s “tricky sophomore album”. Some joined the “too radio-friendly” team, while others cried genius, putting the album in their …

Just because Dozer made a huge comeback last year (with one of the best releases of 2024, no less) doesn’t mean we should overlook Greenleaf. It’s quite the contrary. The two bands are intimately connected through the riff machine we know as Tommi Holappa, which has enabled him to deploy his entire riff catalog for …

When a band creates music that echoes so powerfully the golden age of rock (the 90s), the lost listener is very tempted to hop on the labeling bandwagon: grunge, post-hardcore, alternative-rock/metal, indie-rock, and so on. Fuck it, because all roads lead to Sons of Alpha Centauri’s brand of Rock. Pull de Sons of Alpha Centauri …
