Full Tone Generator started as an idea hatched on the beaches of Australia by Andy Fernando and bought to fruition in the Californian Desert by Andy Fernando, Brant Bjork and Brad Young.
While Don Fernando (band) were on a break in early 2018 Andy was looking for another outlet for his new songs and took it upon himself to contact the one and only Brant Bjork (Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Brant Bjork and the Low Desert Punks).
Andy had met Brant while touring together in Australia in 2017 and the guys had developed a friendship over their mutual love of gin, rock n roll and The Ramones.
Andy’s vision was to take his new songs into the spiritual home of stoner rock and record them with one of the forefathers of the genre, Andy needed a drummer and producer, luckily Brant is both, Brant proposed that they head out into the desert and setup a mobile studio in a remote location to record an LP with Brant playing drums and producing the record with the assistance of Bubba Dupree.
In late 2018 their debut album »Valley Of The Universe« was released worldwide to rave reviews, Andy then enlisted the services of Ben Hall and Mat Evans to fill out the live lineup of the band and went out on the road to promote the release.
Full Tone Generator’s second full-length album »Refuge Of Sinners« was just released in March 2024 on Golden Robot Records. Recorded at the famous Rancho De La Luna Studios in Joshua Tree in California by Dave Catching, the album is an exploration into the twisted souls and minds of 4 guys who were raised on a healthy mix of 70’s rock, punk and metal as well as a heavy dose of 90’s sludge and stoner rock.
The album takes a deeper dive into more melodic territories both vocally and sonically. The songs also explore more complex composition and instrumentation while staying true to their sparse desert rock roots and a keen ear for a catchy hook.
