I see you sitting at the back of the room
We lock eyes I can see that you're hypnotized
Take my hand I got a devious plan
Lets get weird and wash away all of your fears
I'm here to love not here to fight
Surf all day and rage all night
There's a great big world to see
Take my hand get weird with me
We head north to Blues Beach and drive on the shore
Paddle out, catch some waves out of the south
Surf all day, hit the lip and throw some spray
Sun dips down, catch a wave in and hang around
I'm here to love not here to fight
Surf all day and rage all night
There's a great big world to see
Take my hand get weird with me
Night it fades, that abalone feed sure tastes great
Build a fire, tell me all of your desires
I will show you everything that I know
Spend the night next to the ocean under starlight
I'm here to love not here to fight
Surf all day and rage all night
There's a great big world to see
Take my hand get weird with me
Finland power trio know exactly how we prefer our hevvy rock: hard af, fuzzy af and doomy af....topped with excellent English vocal sprinkles Heddbuzz (I.R. Puffinstuff)
Faerie Ring return and so does the RIFF, all caps. Faerie Ring take what would be a cookie cutter riff from anyone else and just JUICE it so thoroughly, with passion and energy and melodic interest and the all-important rhythmic groove (much more important to a good stoner riff than loud fuzz), that it just blows out your speaker and makes you mean mug. Guaranteed. I loved the wacky sounds they created in the studio that really push this over the edge from great into bonkers-great. pinkytheent
A stoner-rock opera with dystopian themes, the Italian band's third LP fuses apocalyptic fury with psychedelic splendor. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 29, 2023
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
If you like to live on the edge and have no regard for mindless compliance or conformity, this might just be the ticket. But I gotta warn you, Auralayer's Thousand Petals is probably going to duke it out for Album of the Year at Clean and Sober Stoner, maybe even the Doom Charts, against the likes of Hail the Void, Faery Ring, Snakemother and Acid King. Once you cross that line, it can be hard to go back...
