Keelhaul

A little more to the Math Rock side than I normally post, but Keelhaul are tough nonetheless. Definitely worth checking out. A couple times, maybe.

Keelhaul - Cruel Shoes

Pelican

Pelican recently toured with High on Fire; I wish that I could have seen that tour. Pelican on Fire!

The audio quality in this video isn't stellar, but you get the idea. Check out their other stuff as well. Grab their CD's before your next road trip, Pelican is a perfect copilot.

Pelican - Drought

Black Sabbath

To bring you from your post Giftsmas coma, here is some Sabbath. (Makes the double Viking hand signal)


Black Sabbath - Iron Man (Live in Paris 1970)


Black Sabbath - Paranoid


I couldn't resist the cartoon.

Winnebago Deal

These guys have quite the resume. I was going to blab some about it, but Wiki has it best:
Winnebago Deal is a rock music band from Oxford, United Kingdom. It started life as a four piece band in 1999 at Bartholomew School, in Eynsham, though two of the original members left shortly after. Winnebago currently consists of two Bens, Ben Perrier (vocals, guitar) and Ben Thomas (drums).

Winnebago Deal generated strong support from local youth center gigs and many appearances at Oxford's Zodiac club, eventually supporting Fugazi at London's Forum; this led to their first record, the Plata O Plomo EP in 2003. They were nominated for the Kerrang Award's 'Best British Newcomer' that year. Soon after, the band signed a recording contract with Double Dragon Music, and produced their debut album Dead Gone with Jack Endino, released in September 2004. Plata O Plomo was reissued in Australia, with an expanded track listing.

The "two Bens" then went on to play as Mondo Generator with Nick Oliveri, former Queens of the Stone Age bassist/vocalist. As well as playing Mondo Generator gigs, they still toured as Winnebago Deal and even supported Mondo Generator, earing them the moniker "Winnebago Generator" from fans. Having entered Dave Grohl's studio to record the next Mondo Generator Album, it was announced in July 2006 that they had left the band for "undisclosed reasons".

In that same month they released their latest album Flight Of The Raven. It was produced by Jack Endino, producer of the first Nirvana album Bleach. The album features many other artists including band partner Nick Oliveri and was cited as the sixth best album in 2006 by Kerrang! writer Raziq Rauf. In 2007 the Bens formed a new band called The Dresdens.

Check out my other post about two piece bands if you like Winnebago Deal.

Winnebago Deal - George Dickel


Winnebago Deal - Did It, Done It, Doing It Again

Dozer

Here's some more Dozer. Great stoner band from Sweden. There are some good tracks on their MySpace page, too.

Dozer - Rings of Saturn & Rising

KaptainSun

From their Myspace page:
KAPTAIN SUN was formed in 1998 and have been playing heavy rock since then. Influenced by everything from Black Sabbath to Slayer, KAPTAIN SUN don´t mind mixing heavy deathmetal riffs with cool heavymetal melodies.

KaptainSun - Starmaster

Lack of Respect

If you're going to be in Bellingham or Seattle next weekend, check out these shows. My buddy Dave is the new drummer for Lack of Respect, from Spokane, Washington. They do the toughest cover of Maneater that I have ever heard. Ok, it's the only cover of Maneater that I've ever heard, but it's pretty fucking cool.



Also playing the shows are The Contra and The Them.

Bongzilla

Yeah, yeah. I know. This is sort of a repeat, but how can I not post these? It's not like you can listen just once anyway...

I give unto you all that is Bongzilla.

Bongzilla - Stone a Pig (live)


Bongzilla - Hashdealer & Keefmaster (live)


Bongzilla - Gateway (live)

НОМ

This is just stupid, but it made me chuckle. It is 40 seconds you won't get back.

НОМ - Спорт вреден!

Bongzilla

The live clip kicks much ass. Bongzilla's bass player, Dixie Dave, is the voice in front of Weedeater as well.

Bongzilla - 666lb. Bongsession

Hip Hip Violin And DJ

This is pretty cool.

Five Horse Johnson

And now for some dirty, bluesey rock. Maybe not so much dirty as it is grimy. Five Horse Johnson are from Toledo, Ohio, and have opened for the likes of Clutch and Halfway to Gone.

Five Horse Johnson - Mississippi King

Small Jackets

I don't know just what to make of these Small Jackets characters. From their Myspace page:

"Play at High Level" - a hi-octane mix of rocknroll, ragged soul and hell-for-leather riffing. Think Iggy raw, think AC/DC loud, think pure, uncompromising guitar mayhem hotwired to explode, think the amped-up party of the summer is here.

Small Jackets - Leave Me Alone

Ok. So turn this station on, then go here for a while. Sorry about this. It will be time you can never get back.

From whence it all came. Look at how young they are! Is that Nick Oliveri with hair? Holy shit!

Kyuss - Old English 800

Sergej The Freak

I want to like these guys, but the chorus sounds ripped off to me.

Sergej The Freak-Deville - Hands of Mine


Maybe a little tour diary-type video will help. Well, he sounds like he really likes John Garcia in this one. The jury is still out.

Sergej The Freak - The Dark Lodge

Weedeater

Now for something a little sludgier.

Weedeater - Bull

Colour Haze

A little prog, some psychedelia, a little more mellow than previous posts, but good nonetheless.

Colour Haze - Z.E.N.

hezzakya - spirit gun

Holy shit. Check these guys out. Wow. Some great stoner rock here.

Sorry, embedding the video isn't allowed. You'll have to use the link. If you like music in the vein of Clutch, you'll dig this.

Guess Why

I'm not quite sure what to think about these guys.

Guess Why - Take it on

Hainloose

It appears that the krauts can do some pretty decent stoner rock, too. Check out their MySpace tracks as well.

Hainloose - M.O.H.

John Garcia and Crystal Method

You know, it should really be John Garcia featuring Crystal Method. Well, that's what I think anyway. The Kyuss front man and the Method, never woulda thunk it. It is surprisingly good.

Crystal Method ft. John Garcia - Born Too Slow

Thumlock

From some fan site:
Spaced-out mega heavy stoner groove band from Wollongong whose music has drawn comfortable comparisons with the likes of Black Sabbath and Hawkwind. Thumlock formed in 1995, originally as a three piece of Eshman, Lough and Stokes. In 1997 the band issued its first CD "Dripping Silver Heat" but it was the "Emerald Liquid Odyssey" release with its less melodic, rockier direction which created considerable interest in the band. Iacurto joined the fold shortly before "Lunar Mountain Sunrise" was recorded. Thumlock supported Hawkwind in early 2000 and then released the debut album, which met with some critical acclaim. Thumlock's status continued to grow with the 'Rockin' Course' single attaining good airplay that was followed up by the fantastic Sojourn Lucid Magic album. A European tour was mooted for the end of 2002, but little seems to have been heard from the Thumlock camp since.

Thumlock - Rockin Course

Boris

Boris are allegedly named after a Melvins song. Their sound has elements of doom, drone, and maybe some stoner as well. Get ready for the loud that can only come from this Japanese three piece.

Boris - Ibitsu

Nebula

Nebula was started after Eddie Glass and Reuben Romano left Fu Manchu. They have a great sound, check 'em out.

Nebula - Smokin Woman
