If Sabbath got hexed by a riot grrrl and dragged through the desert at midnight, you would get Pegzilla. The heavy rock three-piece out of Los Angeles, California, features Olivia Saperstein on vocals and guitars, Juan Barsse on bass, and Ryan Swain on drums. With hints of doom metal, psych and even punk rock, it’s hard to fit this rowdy trio into a tidy box. Instead, label them one thing: LOUD.

The raucous trio recently inked a worldwide deal with Californian powerhouse Ripple Music for the impending CD and digital release of their debut full-length »Disobedience« in the fall. Pegzilla is gearing up to prove that raw rock fury isn’t dead, as shown by their latest singles »Virginia Werewolf« and »Bootlicker«! Doomed & Stoned editors enthuse: “High energy to the very end, Pegzilla captures the core of ’70s doom metal within their defiant brand of boisterous rock ‘n’ roll.”

Pegzilla »Disobedience« out October 9th on Ripple Music (CD/digital)
Pegzilla is a heavy rock trio from Los Angeles, a powerful and rebellious force in the L.A. music scene featuring Olivia Saperstein (guitar, vocals), Ryan Swain (drums), and Juan Barsse (bass). Their sound is a heavy blend of stoner metal and desert rock. They describe their style as “witchy stoner rock”, aiming to create a dark, spellcasting atmosphere with a vengeful edge through a sound that’s seductive but also intentionally uncomfortable. Lyrically, the band is unapologetically assertive. As a woman in a male-dominated genre, Olivia Saperstein crafts lyrics that criticize patriarchal power structures and act as a “seductive call to take the power back”. Her mission is clear: to highlight the presence of women in heavy music and advocate for more representation on festival lineups and in the press.
Pegzilla have released one EP, numerous singles, and have now signed to US independent powerhouse Ripple Music to blast their debut full-length »Disobedience« in the fall of 2026, followed by an extensive East Coast tour.
Pegzilla is:
Olivia Saperstein – Guitar/Vox
Juan Barsse – Bass
Ryan Swain – Drums
