US stoner metal band Chokesetter presents ZZ Top cover »Sharp Dressed Man«; available now on all major streaming services!

South Bend, Indiana based stoner metal band Chokesetter presents their cover of ZZ Top classic »Sharp Dressed Man«, released on March 20th, 2026 via GoneDeaf Records.

»Sharp Dressed Man« is now available on all major streaming services!

Heavy, abrasive, and unapologetically loud, this bearded foursome out of South Bend, Indiana, draws influence from heavy hitters like Clutch, Orange Goblin, and Eyehategod – yet with equal parts groove, grime, and pure volume, they carve their own path through the world of riff-drenched rock n’ roll.

Chokesetter wasted no time building a loyal following across the Midwest and beyond. Since forming in 2018, this four-piece has carved a reputation as one of the hardest-hitting acts in their region. Clocking countless miles on the road, a relentless touring schedule that has forged them into a sonic powerhouse, sharing the stage with bands such as Corrosion Of Conformity, Crowbar, Eyehategod, Crobot, Truckfighters, and Texas Hippie Coalition.

With the Midwest as their proving ground, the band now set their sights on spreading their gospel of heaviness to new and exciting heights. Gritty as the pothole-scarred roads of Indiana and loud as a Sportster with straight pipes, Chokesetter is more than a band – they’re one of the Midwest’s best-kept secrets.

Chokesetter is:
Jessi Maule – Lead Vocals
Steve Dickson – Guitar
Dustin Taberski – Bass
Larry Bone – Drums

“Solid musicians, solid heavy songs. Any hard fans need to check Chokesetter out. This band deserves a listen!” – Tim Palmer (Producer/Audio Engineer, ‘62 Studios)

“Chokesetter… like Clutch… but sexier. Full octane, smack your mama riff rockin goodness…!” – Chris Bishop (Guitarist, Crobot)

“Chokesetter is a fresh sound in stoner doom rock metal with that heavy bass and crunchy groove I love so much! It’s fun album start to finish. There’s definitely some toe tapping, booty shaking groove riffs going on and I’m here for it. I’ve been keeping them in my show and gig rotation with great response!!” – DJ Carrie Monster (Horror Wednesday Radio & Metal Sundays @ Livewire Lounge Chicago)

“Chokesetter knows how to bring the groove, quirks, and heavy hooks. Need a little cowbell in your stoner doom? Look no further than Motorboater!” – Alex Crescioni (Stygian Sound/Sordes Dominum)
