Sesta Marconi

"The idea of SESTA MARCONI dates back to 1999, when a group of 15 years old friends from the south of Italy set out their musical destiny. After the period of playing cover songs, in 2002 the band started creating their own music. By the end of the year they not only played live a lot, but also composed several songs, two of which ended up on their first demo, "Black Soul Star", falling stylistically between seventies hard rock and classic heavy metal with strong doom metal overtones. In September 2003 the combo relocated to Rome where they kept on playing, in spite of some problems that slowed them down for a few months. In 2004 SESTA MARCONI continued to forge new material, leaning more towards traditional doom metal. Most of those tracks went to constitue "Ritual Kamasutra Kitsch", a 30 minutes long EP released by the band in March 2008. In the 4 songs, preceded by the ironic audio-collage intro, the musicians summarized their personal exploration of the world from the last few years. The EP received some rave reviews from the metal press in Italy and abroad. That’s what Doom revealed to Sesta Marconi... Doom'n'roll shall be the whole of the law" ~ 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

Linus Pauling Quartet (edit)

"A Brief History- 

The LP4 has been carrying the Texas Psych torch since the Mid-90s.  Following in the footsteps of the Mike Gunn and Dry Nod this seven member quartet has been praised in the pages of Ptolemaic Terrascope (UK), Rockerrilla (Italy), Magnet (USA), Broken Face (Sweden), et al. 

First off, it's almost impossible to describe its music in some kind of pithy rock-crit manner. Psychedelic space metal for the Mensa set is about the best we could come up with, and it doesn't quite encompass all that the LP4 does. It's not quite a stoner rock band, nor pure psych rock. Some songs could be likened to the spacey Britpop of Super Furry Animals and Spiritualized, or even early Pink Floyd, but members also bust out with a little hardcore here and there and even occasionally cloak themselves in the black garb of a death metal band. In short, they sound like a pretty large swath of the totally unique Houston rock scene all rolled into a single group.  Houston Press (USA)

"A large red sticker proclaiming WEIRD ALERT could not make things plainer."- Q Magazine (UK) 

"one of the top purveyors of the Texas stoner psychedelic style" Free City Media (USA)

spaced out metal and ultra heavy psychedelia that will appeal to anyone who likes.... well... spaced out metal and ultra heavy psychedelia. - Aural Innovations (USA)  

Like Slater says in Dazed and Confused, "You couldn't handle that shit on strong acid, man." On second thought, maybe that's the only way you could." Austin Chronicle (USA)   "

Beiruth

"After so many years taken the same experiences in conventional Rock acts(Omitidos, Tarkus, Earth, Fooz…), Jesús and Juan Ángel, meets Charlie, who came from bands in the same line(FreeState) and the join of three ones, about a year ago, starts a brand new project that sound radical even inside the R’n’R scene. Tracking down the almost erased paths that walked the KrautRockers, the PhycheRavers and the Hippy Travellers in the Seventies, they fall into a no-song instant and continuous extemporization, when nothing repeats, assuming all the satisfaction and risks. You never play/listen again that you’d played/listened the last time... Mix their old Rock instruments with new (and not so new) audio generators and start to play with some regularity checking amazed that in every line that they open, there are some more... To infinity and beyond. Ball of Probability, Folk of Chaos, Space Boogie, Magik Mother Invocation, Infinity Loop, the Music of Spheres to heat and burn your mind"  ~ MySpace

Quest For Fire

"Chad Ross’ recent Deadly Snakes tenure may be the most boldface-worthy item on his resumé, but it’s his less-publicized gig as a former Black Mountain roadie that provides the instant context for his new band, Quest for Fire (also featuring fellow Snake Andrew Moszynski, Cursed drummer Mike Maxymuik and No No Zero bassist Josh Bauman). Stoner-rock has never been a premium commodity in this town — despite the best efforts of disparate, disconnected ambassadors like Sons of Otis and Nadja — but Quest for Fire’s debut could be the rallying point to unite aged Hendrix hippies and new-school Dead Meadow bong-loaders alike. The album’s track sequence is effectively designed for easy indoctrination, leading off with a four-to-the-floor, radio-single-formatted blast (“Bison Eyes”) that suggests a nefarious plan to lure in Queens of the Stone Age fans, before stretching out to better explore stoner-rock’s pastoral (“You Are Always Loved”), cosmic (“I’ve Been Trying to Leave”) and metallic (“Hawk That Hunts the Walking”) qualities. But Quest for Fire sound most assured when fusing these core components into a hellacious whole, as on the monstrous, Spacemen 3–splattered closer (“Next to the Fire”) — proof that whatever fire these dudes are searching for has most definitely been found.

Gas Giant

"GAS GIANT is a 3-piece rock band from Copenhagen, Denmark. Their sound blends influences from classic rock acts of the '60s and '70s like The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath with a sound and attitude found in modern bands such as Kyuss and Monster Magnet Yet among contemporary bands in this scene, GAS GIANT stands out clearly, producing mature songs with strong melodies, though without ever forgetting their HEAVY roots! Their songs evolve organically during epic rehearsal jam sessions, but balance sledgehammer riffs with plenty of catchy hooks. And just listen to that guitar. GAS GIANT began life as Blind Man Buff, playing for several years under that name before choosing a new name to reflect their bigger, more spacious sound in 1998. The heavy and spaced out album Pleasant Journey in Heavy Tunes came out in 2000 and opened a lot of doors for the band, but it was first later the same year, things got rolling. They hooked up with drummer Tommy Dan, who had been playing both hardcore/rap scene and various jam bands for a while. The change was the perfect match for the band to move on to new musical levels. The band now sounded like a four piece machine, ready to hit the road with full tilt. In 2003 the album Mana they set the order how to make heavy and spaced out stoner rock in the state of Denmark. The album was the best yet they had archived, and it defined GAS GIANT once more as a big and spacious sound. Known as the Gas Giant sound Individually or together, the band members have been playing for more than 14 years in the Danish music scene." ~ MySpace
