“With their blend of doom metal and stoner rock rumbling below killer melodies and soaring leads, what’s not to love?” — Metal Injection
“High energy to the very end, Pegzilla captures the core of ’70s doom metal within their defiant brand of boisterous rock’n’roll.” — Doomed & Stoned
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.
Lyrically, Pegzilla 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.
The raucous trio recently inked a worldwide deal with Californian powerhouse Ripple Music for the CD and digital release of their debut album »Disobedience«, all set to prove that raw rock fury isn’t dead. Watch their latest video for »Chelsea«!
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.
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.
Pegzilla is:
Olivia Saperstein – Guitar/Vox
Juan Barsse – Bass
Ryan Swain – Drums
