From Zagreb, Croatia comes Stonebride. This Stoner Rock band is great! There are some Blues influences at their first album called Inner Seasons. I like to play this album on my mp3 player when I go to work. Stonebride knows how to write nice songs. I hope they will release their follow-up album soon! As far as I know there's a split 12" scheduled with Suma. Well, doesn't that sound promising? Enjoy!
