From Heavy Psych Sounds:
FROM THE DESERT WITH FUZZZ…
We’re incredibly stoked and honored to announce that the California super-band Stöner is now a new member of the HPS family!!
Heavy Psych Sounds will release the band’s debut album this summer!!
The release was recorded at The Rad Cabin, Joshua Tree, CA on October 12, 2020 by Yosef Sanborn.
Debut album pre-sale + first track premiere start May 6th at 16 CET.
Rad stays rad. A few ideas are timeless. Stöner is Brant Bjork (guitar/vocals), Nick Oliveri (bass/vocals) and Ryan Güt (drums), and from flowing jams to all-out punker blasts, they know what they’re doing. It ain’t anybody’s first time at the dance, and you don’t call your band Stöner if you’ve never heard the word before. Stöner, however straight-ahead their moniker, encompass varied styles and the songwriting of Bjork and Oliveri – both founders of Kyuss, also Mondo Generator, Ché, Fu Manchu, Bloodcot, and more between them. Atop the classic-style swing and flow from Güt (also of Bjork’s solo band), Stöner keep it casual and wear the name as only those who helped create the sound could.
Stöner is:
Brant Bjork – Guitars/Vocals
Nick Oliveri – Bass
Ryan Güt – Drums
Tomorrow, April 30, Stöner will also release »Live In The Mojave Desert Volume 4« via Heavy Psych Sounds Records.
»Live In The Mojave Desert« is a livestream concert film series created deep in the deep sand and huge boulders of some insanely beautiful California wilderness, with performances from Earthless, Nebula, Spirit Mother, Mountain Tamer, and Stöner (a new band by Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri).
Each concert film is presented in a world-premiere, 1080p HD livestream event and will become a live album. Rad music, good times, psychedelic positive vibez in the desert.
»Live In The Mojave Desert« was inspired by Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii. A few of our favorite bands – new and legendary artists – with the Mad Alchemy Liquid Light Show to light up a huge double pyramid of boulders. Recorded in 24 track ProTools.
Tracklist:
01. Rad Stays Rad
02. The Older Kids
03. Own Yer Blues
04. Nothin’
05. Evel Never Dies
06. Stand Down
