The Hazytones, a three piece band from Montreal have, since their 2015 inception, been kicking some serious ass around the live circuits of their Canadian home turf. The Hazytones jam a groove of hard and stoner rock blended with touches of bluesy psych that has a distinct but not overpowering retro feel, a feel perfect for an underground scene dominated by bands looking backwards towards the hard rock of the 70's. Scorching guitar solos and fuzz drenched crunching power chords, vocals, clean, clear and powerful, big burly bass lines, a dazzling display of power and finesse ... the three musicians combining to create grooves that can be heavy and face melting one minute and laid back and lysergic the next.
The Hazytones have just announced a huge US winter tour - their first ever - spanning with width of the US and including dates in Mexico and Canada. Please see the above flyer for a full list of dates.
"The Hazytones" is an album that could as easily find its way onto the playlist of an avid 70's hard rock collector as it could that of the most discerning stoner/psych/doom fan. From the Sabbath-esque opener "Light Of The Day", with it's familiar vocal melody (Sabbath's "Hole In The Sky") and catchy guitar riff, through to the Swedish retro-like grooves of final track "Moonstruck" there is a feeling of the past and the present coming together to create something totally new yet oddly recognizable. (reviewed by Desert Psychlist)
For fans of Black Sabbath, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, Kadavar, Witchfynde. 01. Light Of The Day 02. Fool's Paradise 03. Free From Your Spell 04. Marked By The Devil 05. Children Of The Universe 06. Day Of The Dead 07. Kill To Survive 08. Living On The Edge 09. Moonstruck
Utilizing lyrical themes and imagery drawn from science fiction, fantasy, and cosmic horror, Columbus Ohio's Pale Grey Lore create heavy, fuzzed-out rock and roll that is spacey and psychedelic, yet focused and concise. Melodic vocals and tasteful harmonies echo alongside thunderous drums, while fuzz-drenched reverberating guitars push demon-haunted vintage amplifiers to the brink.
Originally released on CD and digital download in June of 2016, Pale Grey Lore's self-titled debut album is now released on vinyl via German label Kozmik Artifactz's imprint Oak Island Records. Conceived as a series of surreal vignettes, each track depicts allegorical scenes from a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world in which the lines between science and the occult, technology and superstition, are hopelessly blurred. Spanning the genres of psych rock, doom metal, post-punk and drone pop, the album's nine tracks are refreshingly diverse, yet part of a remarkably coherent whole that adds up to much more than the sum of its parts.
The band says: "People have been comparing us to Uncle Acid and The Black Angels, and we couldn't be happier with those comparisons!"

Wichita fuzzers, Snowchild, have managed to birth an album that comes on like a churning maelstrom of sound, and continues to punch listeners in the face with a heavy sound that mimics the stoner rock of yore, but is also undeniably their own. This album was made for vinyl, and may be one of the more celebrated releases of this year.
"Kansas trio Snowchild throw stoner, psych, blues and hard rock into a big melting pot, chuck in a big dollop of groove and serve it molten hot! Amazing blend of doom styles , yet always maintaining a Sabbath vibe throughout. I also am reminded of Pallbearer at times. This reminds me of the first few Sahg records, but with a tiny bit more doom and quite a bit more blues elements. Like Sahg meets Cream. There is an awesome organ part in track 2, even though Snowchild seems to be and sounds like a power trio. Superb stuff." - Stoned Meadow of Doom
"Thick as mud, yet as crystal clear as a super moon on a cloudless night, Snowchild releases Age of Change in a haze of fuzzed out psychedelic doom rock." - wearewichita.com

Mississippi Bones formed in the flat lands of Hardin County, Ohio in 2010 as a two man studio project, thanks to some free studio time, with no other motive than to lay down some rock and no intentions of a future. In the last 7 years the rock has not stopped. They have moved from a two to a six man (5 men 1 lady) band, but the goal remains the same … laying down fat slabs o'rock.
Some say you hear Clutch influences in their music, maybe, but listen to their albums and you'll be blown away by how much more you're about to discover. Soul, blues and southern rock have never been combined with heavy riffing and catchy melodies like this.
"12 more songs that rattle and crash with incredible energy, enthusiasm, and elegance. When I listen through this album I hear elements of Clutch, which makes this music quite exciting to me, but that is only the starting point for what they've created here. … just sheer raucous rock n roll pleasure, a fierceness of execution, and a keen sense of joy." - HeavyPlanet.net
"Big rock riffs, great lyrics, crazy song titles, brilliant cover art and it just begs to ask one big question - how are this Band not one of the biggest on the planet? The album as a whole is a little bit darker and heavier than the one before but is still always easy on the ear and continues to reward repeated listening. So there we have it - a combination of maximum riffing, educated lyrics and catchy songs - what's not to like?" - 10/10 @ maximumvolumemusic.com

American Space Monkey is an aggressive band from Vancouver BC Canada, whose combined Punk and Metal influences blend together into a unique version of Noise Rock. Needless to say feedback is a favourite note in between groove driven stoner hardcore. Very noisy, often fast paced, but will change direction without any warning.
Forged from the ruins of the member’s old bands, American Space Monkey came to be during the summer of 2014.
“We have a history of imploding in on ourselves, quitting, and eventually starting up again.”
If you trace the steps back far enough, Cody Derkach and Kyle Kary started the band in a dingy basement in Cranbrook BC. Then called Fiesta Finger, the members started creating music solely for their own amusement. A few months in, shows started happening, and the idea of being in a band started to feel much more real. The shows gradually grew in size and success, which lead to an initial EP, and Canadian tour. It was at this point that the first implosion occurred.
The band removed the sole songwriter, recruited Justin Stadig, a new guitarist, scrapped their entire catalogue of music, and essentially started over, all the while still being called Fiesta Finger. Again, the shows grew, opening for major touring bands like Protest The Hero, 3 Inches of Blood, The Brat Attack and The Class War Kids, along with a second Canadian Tour. This all lead to the recording of the band's first full length album, which ultimately brought the band to its demise. Unhappy with the album, and each other, everyone quit.
Fast forward 1 year, Cody, Kyle and Justin had each coincidently moved to Vancouver. Having remarkably short memories, they decided to scrap every single song ever written or recorded, and start anew, as Idiot Switch, The Morgan Abduction. Shows started up again, recording of a new full length album went underway, until the band again, parted ways, and stopped talking to each other.
After some more down time, the idea of reforming emerged once again. Getting back together once more, adding Adam Redding as the bassist and again nixing every single song from every previous versions of the band, they started back up as American Space Monkey.
With a live presence that could be described as chaotic, menacing and awkward the band has toured Canada multiple times over the past 10 years and were lucky enough to open for Canadian bands such as Protest the Hero, Three Inches of Blood and Means (Northcote).
American Space Monkey is looking to tour Canada once more in the summer of 2018.

In the most typical fashion possible for them, they decided to spend a year writing (mostly) new songs with a new vocalist for the sake of recording a "proper" album in a legit studio. After achieving all of this, they decided they didn't want to play these songs anymore, and to some extent ended this version of the band.
Released March 1, 2017
Recorded/Mixed by Mark McKitrick at Rain City Recorders. Mastered by Stuart McKillop at Rain City Recorders.
Music by American Space Monkey. Lyrics by Kaija Marie.

Fluorescent tapes and cases make any party more fun!
They weren't sure what was next, but regardless of everything, they're proud of these songs and had a blast writing and recording them.
But in typical fashion, they now have a 6 song EP coming out 31 December 2017 called Crash Landing.
Crash Landing was recorded, mixed, engineered and produced by Kyle Anderson at Blue Light Studio in Vancouver BC Canada. The album was mastered by Greg Mindorff (Grammy Nominated) at Suite Sound Labs.

This is one quite good EP folks, a short and sweet noise rock delight, and apparently the final album, which you can pre-order for $1 CAD or more from HERE!! The minimum price is set to $1+, as that is the minimum allowed price for pre-orders on Bandcamp. We'll reset this to $0 on release day as we want everyone to have access to the album, regardless of money. That said, recording music costs us money, so we greatly appreciate any cash sent our way, but again we want anyone and everyone to be able to download the album, regardless of their financial situation.
