No Turning Back

From Budapest, Hungary comes the new band Head For The Sun. This four piece band plays Stoner Rock with Sludgy influences.

Their EP four track Live At Hungarian StonerRockBlog 3rd Birthday Fuzztival is a nice sounding piece of work. The guitar produces some great heavy riffs, the bass and drums are quite pounding and the vocals are very good.

Head For The Sun shows with this EP their capabilities. I think there's a great future for this band. I look forward to the next release. Enjoy!

Head For The Sun was formed in October, 2011, in Budapest, Hungary. In december we got a chance to record our concert for almost free,

So we did it, however at that time we had been playing together only 2 months.

Fortunately the songs come easy for our songwriter, Rico (who is a blogger at Stoner Rock Blog Hungary).

Great Vibe Here!

Thanks to Sadness for sharing this live album!

Supafuzz is Stoner Rock band from Kentucky, U.S.A. This band has made three albums, two EP's and this live album. This live album Down For The Underground is a great recording: the sound is good, the songs are great and you can almost feel the vibe of the audience. It must have been a great atmosphere at that show! Enjoy the vibe!

Spaced Out In The Hague.

At some blogs I saw posts about the Øresund Space Collective performance at Roadburn. This post is about the pre Roadburn performance at De Vinger.
De Vinger (The Finger) is a small bar in The Hague and I was really surprised Øresund Space Collective was announced there. The Collective did only one performance in The Netherlands in the past and now they've played in my home city! Awesome!
As I expected, Øresund Space Collective did play a great show. It was an over two hours during Space Trip. An unforgettable experience. But too bad, they didn't recorded all of it, so here's an over one hour recording.
What also surprised me was the fact there were at the most 25 visitors at this great show. (People don't know what they have missed or The Hague isn't ready for totally improvised Space Rock!)

It was really nice to see Dr. Space enjoying his music in his fluorescent wizard robe! I hope they will visit The Hague again sometimes. Maybe then there will be a better audience. Enjoy this experience!

Pro Rock Live!

Thanks to my buddy Anders for sending this awesome live album!
This is the live registration of the Clutch performance at Prince Bandroom in Melbourne, Australia on the 25th Feb this year. The sound is incredible good, but I didn't expect anything less! The choice of songs is great, a nice variety of new and old songs. If you never had the chance to see Clutch, then this album gives some idea. Enjoy!

You know Clutch has a live show that can’t be stopped, hard rocking no-bullshit rock and roll. You know last time Clutch released a limited edition live album it sold out. Quickly. Do not be disappointed this time.

Clutch live at the Prince Bandroom in St Kilda riding on the crest of the Soundwave Festival. The boys from Clutch are performing their Strange Cousins from the West material as well as favourites from their back catalogue of punk rock grit. Just amps, microphones and the crowd. Clutch live at the Prince. Don’t miss it.

Blue Record With Bonus!

I guess the most people know this album by now, but I have to post it anyway. When I bought this CD, I did not know there was a bonus CD included. This bonus CD contains (a part of) their performance at Roadburn 2009. I think it's a part of their show, because the CD last only 34 minutes.
The Blue Record is just what you expect from Baroness, Heaviness in all aspects. This is a truly great album. Enjoy and buy!

In 2007 Baroness released an album with glorious red artwork. In a fit of unbelievable creativity, they named it Red Album. In 2009 they are cementing their reputation for nomenclature with the ingeniously titled companion album – Blue Record.

Like all great pairings though, these two Baroness albums are a contrasting duo. Red Album was a galloping charge of muscular grooves, building layer upon layer of sound into an unrelenting assault. Blue Record is a different beast entirely, trading the slowly building sonic landscapes of its predecessor with a more jarring sound, full of twists, turns and tangential moments. This is an inventive album, one not afraid to tone down the band's clear talent for musical muscle for the sake of originality.
Baroness have undoubtedly retained their tight and pounding style, but it has been shoehorned into a different context. Here the guitars lead the way, and while the aggression is still there, they are more willing to throw different tones and styles into the mix. Straight up metal riffage jostles for position with bluesy folk breakdowns, jangling garage rock style arpeggios and prog rock cascading rhythms. Even though the raw vocals at times sound slightly odd against the more delicate musical sections, it's still a breathlessly effective melting pot of sound, and the frenetic pace is sustained throughout.
Despite all of this musical chaos Blue Record manages to maintain an enormous amount of identity. From the sizzling fuzz laden guitar solos to crushing bass grooves; the album positively drips with the flavour of the American Deep South. This grounding provides a sense of unity that ties the album together, giving it a sense of narrative throughout.
Blue Record reinforces Baroness' status as a musical powerhouse, but perhaps more impressive is that is does so whilst deviating substantially from the formula set down in their first full length album. Brave, fresh, and original – this excellent album packs a punch.

Causa Sui Live At Roadburn 2007

I found this request in my C-Box and I love to post it, though I had a hard time pulling the sticker off the CD because my Mac don't like stickered CD's.
The perfomance of Causa Sui at Roadburn was one of my favourites that weekend. There is no tracklist with the CD, so if someone can help me with that I would really appreciate.

ORANGE SUNSHINE Live At RoadBurn 2007

Awaiting the Elektra Stoner Fest, here a recording from Orange Sunshine at RoadBurn 2007. I only didn't have a tracklist for it.

The problem with music in the late 60's was the hippy shit, right? The goddamn peace and love stuff, the acoustic folkies, the going-to-San-Francisco-with-flowers-in-yr-hair. But what if the 60's were as wildly murderous a time as these strange days? What if it was ALL Charlie Manson and napalm and muddy drugfreak people and Up Against the Wall, Motherfucker? Well, then, there'd only be, like, 5 bands left standing- the Stooges, the MC5, Hendrix, Blue Cheer, and Orange Sunshine. Not that dutch acid-warriors OS were actually THERE or nothin', the cats in the band are all like, 25 years old, but they sure the fuck sound it. This here album is such a throwback to the era, such an utterly authentic psyche-punk-blues fuzz-riot, that it seems bizarre such an artifact is on compact disc at all, like ya really oughta hold out for the reel-to-reel edition, ya know? Dig the 15 minute ode-to-Cream "Hey Mama", complete with an extended space-madness supernova guitar solo that sounds like a mastodon slowly sinking into the tar pits, or their harmonica-driven fuck-blues take on "I'm a Man", or the duck-walkin', Chuck Berry-on-even-more-drugs retro-rock n' roll of "Wham Bam...", or the swank fuzzboogie of "Ain't No Way" for ample evidence of OS's brilliant UFO ride back to 'Nam. Sez on the back that this 'un was recorded "At Hans Mulder Studios, The Hague, 1971", and even tho only half of that is true, you'll believe it, man. This is the best idea 60's drug rock has inspired since that time you dipped an entire Freak Brothers comic in blotter acid. See ya on the spaceship.

Live From Italy: RE DINAMITE

This live promo from Italy's Re Dinamite is a nice album with a good sound. They shared the stage with some famous names.

Re Dinamite is a project which arose in September 2005 from the union of one member of the T.H.U.M.B. and two of the DOGGIE POSITION, two active bands in the rock'n'roll and stoner environment from the province of Treviso. The signs of the union had already arrived in the spring of the same year...but nothing allowed to foresee that in a few months’ time would born the project Re Dinamite! The members of the group are: Vanny r'n'roll at the guitar, King Ricky at the drums and voice and The Zmudah at the bass and voice. So Re Dinamite is a trio but at the same time an only entity which plays mainly simple and fast, direct and compact pieces. In few words it’s a trio, fit for manufacturing pieces without compromises, which in 2006 began to make its way through numerous concerts and recorded a Promo Live to the 44 club and its first Ep "RE DINAMITE" at the Garage study of the friend Ruggero Pol. in Conegliano. "RE DINAMITE" is recorded on two inches ribbon and mixed in Analogical way after less than 3 days of intense job; the result immediately probes to be notable, an almost live work which completely reflects what the trio is able to do live and grasps the sound of the band: aggressive bass and drums which accompany granite riff of guitar, a rocky rock'n'roll on a rhythmic base soaked in blues and stoner but also psychedelic expansions alternate to frequent moments of deadly draught. In 2007 an intense live activity countersigns the movements of the band which succeeds in highlighting itself and concluding an agreement with Go Down Records (Gorilla UK, The Morloks, OJM, Small Jackets and many others) for the co-production of the homonym debut album that goes out November 23rd 2008. In the same year an agreement is reached with Black Nutria for the digital distribution of the pieces through the most important devoted portals such as iTunes and many others in order to guarantee the availability all over the world. The whole season 2007/2008 have been characterized by an intense and rich in satisfactions live activity: the band plays, among the others, with Brant Bjork, Lords of Altamont, The Hormonauts, OJM, Gorilla and a lot of bands of the Italian underground panorama. In 2008 some hits of the band participate to different compilations, among which "The Heavy Psych Italian Sounds", "Tomato", "Race to the Unknown" and are broadcasted in many radios. The trio take part in radio programs, among which is wanted to mention "The Jet Generation" of Radio Sherwood. Currently Re Dinamite is working to the new album which will be out in 2009.
