From the dusty heart of Southern Italy, The Apulian Blues Foundation return with their new single »Everybody Ought To Love Jesus«, now premiering exclusively on Doomed & Stoned.

The track delves deep into the band’s signature “delta stoner” sound, where the ancestral call of Delta blues collides with the heavy, hypnotic pulse of stoner rock. Reinterpreting the spiritual tradition through distortion, groove, and raw intensity, The Apulian Blues Foundation turn sacred lament into a howl of rebellion and redemption.

Formed in 2015, the band began their journey with the self-produced EP »Vol.1«, recorded and mixed by Bari-based sound engineer Andrea Dinapoli. After years of intense live activity – performing at Waves of Doom Fest, Freak Out Stoned Fest, Zolla Fest, Promontorio Music Fest, Rock in Lama, and sharing the stage with notable national and international acts – the band is now ready to present their first full-length album.

Their new record, »Traditional Songs About Life, Death And Rebirth«, will be released on November 21, 2025 via Zann’s Records. Comprising eight tracks, the album pays homage to both early 20th-century blues and the gritty, lysergic stoner rock of the 1990s, reinterpreting the verses and sounds of the past through a modern, raw and punk-driven lens.

Recorded and mixed at REH Studio within MAT Laboratorio Urbano in Terlizzi (BA) by Dario Tatoli, and mastered by Claudio Gruer (Nick Oliveri, Yawning Man, Brant Bjork) at Pisi Studio in Rome, the album marks a major step forward for the band, solidifying a sound that is both personal and immediately recognizable.

With this record, The Apulian Blues Foundation confirm their place as one of the most original and genuine acts in Italy’s contemporary rock scene – delivering a sound that feels both ancient and modern, dusty and visionary.
