Featuring iconic musicians Brant Bjork, Nick Oliveri and Ryan Güt, the new band Stöner embodies the authentic essence of desert rock taking you on a wild ride across the dusty Mojave paths on the debut release “Stoners Rule”.
The hazy trip begins with the fuzzy monochromatic nuances of “Rad Stays Rad” as the thick guitar riffs and the heavy bass backbone effortlessly create spacey rhythmic dynamics enhanced by Brant’s laid back vocals.
“The Older Kids” certainly holds an enjoyable trippy mood yet picks up some energetic vibes to generate memorable hooks courtesy of the vintage guitar tonalities and moody vocals following a constant groovy rhythm.
“Stand Down” features chunky guitar riffs, loads of fuzzed out dynamics and a smooth tempo leading to a super catchy chorus while the lead guitar work shines for the soulful retro sound and the warm bluesy influences.
The spaced out final track “Tribe/Fly Girl” feels like a refreshing spontaneous jamming session highlighting the band’s strong chemistry and shifting from bold grooves to languid melodies while the guitars successfully maintain an addictive raw sound that can instantly put you in a daze celebrating a true stoner rock spirit.
The irresistible fuzzed out grooves of “Stoners Rule” always come to life naturally as Stöner know exactly how to jam like there’s no tomorrow driven by the timeless energy of desert rock.
