Ridge
""If you like bands Lowrider, Astoqueen, Fu Manchu and the like then this one is worth buying. Pretty much sums up the term Stoner rock I would say. "scum1
"Since Fu Manchu went for less fuzz and more variation in guitar tone on King of The Road and California Crossing, I recommend Ridge to anyone who wanted another album that feels more like The Action Is Go/ Eatin' Dust. "
rfky
"Basically in the same vein as Dozer and Demoncleaner (not surprising since it was recorded by the same producer in the same studio), but if you like these bands, chances are you'll like this. And the riff of the year just may be the one right after the chorus in "Fuelle". I was listening to that on headphones the other day while "working", and I nearly foot-tapped myself right out of my chair."

Blindman's Buff
these albums all are tagged as pre gas giant - however i'm not sure they are.
this is what i found on StonerRock.Com about Blindman's Buff - Desert Roads:
"This is not a full album, but a demo-cd with three songs from Belgian band Blindman's Buff. I liked it so much that i decided to represent it here.
If you like stonerrock, you should not be without this demo. It sounds a bit catchy, so if you need an comparison, i would say QOTSA.
The vocalline on "Will-o'-the wisp" sounds a bit like "You would know" on QOTSA's debut, although that's my opinion.
"Utopian Dream" is a real rocker with catchy vocals.
There is really nothing bad to say about this demo.
I hope these guys will release a full album a.s.a.p."
Can't find anything on those 2 demo's
so again if anyone has any info, let us know ... please ;)
Koyen
"Out of the ruins of 'Reeder' (former band members) rides 'Koyen' with their high energy simple rock medium tempo desert/pop tinged numbers. It reminds me of the same level of energy that bands like Dozer come across as having, well that and other things in common.It's safe to say that the members of Koyen probably describe their sound as desert rock, and why shouldn't they? It's got that same sort of Kyuss/Queens/Desert Sessions vibe.
The vocalist is definitely going for that melodic soul singing s t y l e similar to John Garcia, and the guitar tones and leads could be equally compared to Homme's s t y l e on some levels. Nonetheless, these guys are good at what they do and rock out...and that's what it's all about, the Koyen sound that is.
Simple desert blues rock numbers with soul, not quite as good as the originals but what is? On the same note it would be unfair to say that these guys sound exactly like any of those bands...there is definitely some indie rock flare thrown in here and there, and the songs are more actual written songs than jams if you know what I mean. Good middle of the road stoner stuff overall." ~ StonerRock.Com

Mood Cadillac
"In a reference book of the Moncton music scene, Mood Cadillac would be one of the chapters that links the much-loved Monoxides to their beligerent offspring Iron Giant, with reference to the newly-formed Blood Royal. Rising from the ashes of several bands in the always incestuous local scene, Mood Cadillac was a big 'ol dirty chunk of fuzz with an obvious love of Black Sabbath. Formed sometime in late '96/ early '97 (nobody can remember for sure) and originally consisted of Mark (Gunther) Richard on vocals, Jody Perry (currently of Blood Royal) on guitar, Dan Dupuis on bass and (Iron Giant vocalist) Chris Lewis on drums." read more @ MySpaceBand: Mood Cadillac

Abramis Brama
"Four years after the release of their last studio effort "Rubicon" in 2005, the Stockholm based heavy rockers flanked by a live album in 2007, here is the latest record from the kings of "heavy seventies hard rock sung in swedish"; ABRAMIS BRAMA. The title on the new album "Smakar Söndag" (Tastes Sunday) reflects over the time passed since "Rubicon" and the trials and tribulations offered, a somewhat dark stew one might think. True in a sence but it also contains material written over a time span of more than 12 years, so one could say that this record is the essence of ABRAMIS BRAMA today; Where they´ve been, where they´re at, and where they´re going! Since "Rubicon" they´ve lost original drummer Jansson (now with WITCHCRAFT), added guitarist Rob (borrowed from BACKDRAFT) and drummer Trisse (from GRAND MAGUS). Top notch quality ingredients right there ! Adding to this, the record contains guest artists such as Moa Holmsten on vocals (previously with MELDRUM), Rolf Leidestad on keyboard, Jonas Kullhammar (grammy award winning jazz saxophone wizard) and you´re guaranteed your normal footstomping, headshaking, ledheavy riffing dose of ABRAMIS + more!" ~ Record HeavenBand: Abramis Brama

Pater Nembrot
"Looking backward. Living the present, to build something better for future times. Music will help us to understand what means sharing energy, will, power, and truth. These few lines are written to describe my music, myself, my way of thinking, as a part of the everything. Words are important to bring outside what's on the inside. Groove, psichedelia, 70's, fuzz, screaming, believing. Don’t you think I’m just a freak: I am like you, you are just like me. " ~MySpaceBand: Pater Nembrot

Magnified Eye
"Sheer power and heartspoken grooves builds up in front of you as Magnified Eye emerges on a journey into their ever expanding universe of progressive rock music. Live on stage Magnified Eye delivers shows of more than one hundred sweatdrenched, thunderous, mooddriven minutes pouring their liquified rock into the open souls of the audience. With energy fueled up-tempo rock songs and flowing mellow pieces, Magnified Eye takes you through the entire emotional spectre, firmly grounded in Frode Bjerkely and Torben Ravns tense and powerdrenched grooves with trudging baselines and swirling drumming. Magnus Esbesen spices everything up with his heavy bluesy harmonic, all bound together by the powerfull guitar play and the soulfull vocals of frontman Torben Egebjerg. Together, Magnified Eye stands as one big moving organism of sound. " ~ MySpace

Snailface
" Snailface flew to Earth in early 2009 on a four headed, robot dragon with an airbrushed mural on the side depicting a gnome receiving oral pleasure from a panda. They quickly set up their base camp in an underwater laboratory in the San Francisco bay.When not recording music or getting high, they hunt sharks for raping. All Sharks are set free afterward, physically unharmed but emotionally scarred." ~ Last.Fm

we are ORCHID....sons of the new dawn...the thorn in the heel of hypocrisy...the seeds of cancer in the bloated bellies of the rich...we are YOUR children... YOUR scion who have come back to cut your throat from ear to ear and take the throne. Hide your blonde, fair-eyed daughters...let them cower with your sons...hide your precious live stock for we shall slaughter them all and spit their blood at your tall white gates!! this day is ours...the hour of ORCHID IS UPON YOU!" ~ MySpace

The Machine
GO BUY THIS ALBUM! ;)
"The Machine plays heavy, psychedelic rock in a powertrio tradition. The current line-up exists since October 2007. Shortly thereafter, they released their debut album “Shadow of the Machine” on their own in December 2007. This record marked their entry into the stonerrock scene and gained some modest international interest.
The follow up, “Solar Corona”, will be officially released by the band on May 30 2009. This release will be done with the German Nasoni Records and will be available on both CD and (coloured) 2LP vinyl. “Solar Corona” features long, partially instrumental tracks which
contain a lot of diversity. These Dutch guys offer you straightforward heavy riffing, melodic passages and atmospherical soundscapes.
When playing live, The Machine regularly stretches songs by incorporating improvised jams in their sets. Everything’s done with a passion
and chemistry, that a lot of contemporary rock is missing. The band is already writing new material for a next album and has some (inter)-
national shows/tours in their schedule. Be prepared." ~ MySpaceArtist: The Machine

Thee Oh Sees
"Thee Of Sees has been mostly compared to theB-52’s. They’re not too keen on this comparison, as well they shouldn’t be. Thee Oh Sees have a lo-fi electric-acoustic sound that’s usually soaked in reverb, making it as if you can hear and see the exact room they recorded in. It creates a very distinct mood that fits their style, lyrics, and melodies to a tee. What most people focus on with them is that Mr. Dwyer is in the band. While it’s certainly a notable quality, the recent band members bring so much more to the table. The earliest recordings are Dwyer’s solo recordings, mostly single instrument/vocal ditties that you can hear him working out. They’re an intimate portrait of John, but without the recent material, the portrait would simply be incomplete.
With the addition of Brigid Dawson, Petey Dammit, and Mike Shoun the sound has grown into the landscape that one man couldn’t create alone. Brigid’s soprano voice brings an almost hauntingly sensitive aspect to the lyrics and melodies, while Petey and Shoun complete the frame in its entirety. " ~

Giant Brain

"Thorn of Thrones, Giant Brain (Small Stone) - Classic Detroit boogie echoes through a soundscape of processed beats, live drums, Deep Purple keyboards, and acoustic guitars. Mostly instrumental, it wanders purposefully and, when it does get lost, a torrent of electric guitar savagely enters to act as a compass. Highlights include the pounding “Relentful Relentless” and the delicately lovely “Asian Love Song What?”. - Lee Ballinger Artist: Giant Brain
