Hailing from Newcastle, UK, Dunes are known for marrying up hard-hitting riffs with earworm melodies, channeling a handful of Northern grit through the fuzzed-out, cranked-up, trip-tinged sounds of the infamous generator parties of the 90s desert rock scene, and the beer-soaked, sweat-drenched and feedback-engulfed clubs of the grunge era.

Dunes has earned a solid reputation on the UK stoner rock scene, sharing the stage with the likes of Fatso Jeston, Nick Oliveri, Alain Johannes, Red Fang, High Desert Queen, Monster Magnet, Sasquatch, Truckfighters and more, also performing at a plethora of festivals including Desertfest London, Bloodstock Open Air, Masters of the riff, Ruination Festival and Idelfest in the UK, and overseas at Fuzz Festival Stockholm and Malmö (SE) and Love For Loud Festival (NO).

In November 2023, Dunes headed to Old Church Studios in Thropton in the far North of England to record »Land Of The Blind« with Adam Forster as studio engineer and Dunes drummer Nikky Watson as producer. The fantastic old church’s great-sounding room and otherworldly atmosphere allowed the band to immerse into the album-making fully. The trio is now ready to blast more fuzzy greatness into all heavy rock lovers’ ears as they recently joined the roster of renowned Californian label Ripple Music for the release of their latest album »Land Of The Blind« on January 17th, 2025.
