Stoner - The supergroup releases great new EP

EP Release

Classic style for this Desert Rock EP

Stoner is the supergroup formed by Desert Rock godfathers and long-time friends Brant Bjork who was the founding member of Kyuss, and also formerly of Fu Manchu, Nick Oliveri of Mondo Generator, Kyuss and Queens of the stone Age fame and Brant Björk drummer Ryan Güt. Their debut studio album 'Stoners Rule' was released in the summer of 2021, and they quickly returned with their sophomore studio full-length 'totally...' in the spring of 2022. This went alongside with an extensive tour across the US, Europe and Australia / New Zealand including appearances in the biggest festivals.

Their new delivery 'Boogie to Baja' features five tracks in the purest Stoner tradition, a perfect mix of Desert Swing, Stoner Rock and low desert punk all at once! With Bjork's laid back grooves, Oliveri's unstoppable fire and Güt's swagger and flair, this is once again a top shelf record that will drive all fans of the Stoner Rock veterans crazy. 'Boogie to Baja' was produced by Yosef Sanborn and features appearances from Mario Lalli (Fatso Jetson, Ex-Yawning Man) and Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks, Ex-Bad Religion). 'Boogie to Baja' will be released in five different vinyl editions, CD and digital on February 24th on Heavy Psych Sounds.

If the name Stoner seems a little on the nose, well… it is. Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri, founding members of the Stoner Rock legend Kyuss, are joined again by drummer Ryan Güt (of Bjork’s solo band) and they’ve got dibs on the thick and dusty swinging grooves, returning as Stöner with their sophomore release ”totally…”. Their love for their early inspirations (bands like Blue Oyster Cult, Kiss, Ramones, Blue Cheer, Misfits, Black Flag, The Stooges, MC5) results in big, groovy, sunbaked riffs that can cruise low and slow but then floor it and run all the red lights.

Live, Stoner is a band about the magnetism between the players, the groove, loose vibe and straight-up badass rock and roll… Stöner are masters of their trade. With “totally...”, Stöner is in its true form, getting together and having fun. Their world is a colorful joyride, heavy of rock but not of the head. The record cranks with vibes of Classic Hard Rock, Heavy Blues, Desert Rock and Psych Rock jams — things that come organically to this trio. Stöner can’t help but express an abundance of Punk Rock rawness and passion for real Rock and roll swagger. With two records, 'Live at Mojave' and 'Stoners Rule' which is available on Heavy Psych Sounds), the latest full-length “totally...” sees the band realizing the chemistry of these old friends developing a statement of pure Rock 'n' Roll fun. The band will soon release a new EP with the Rock 'n' Rolling 'Boogie to Baja', slated for a February 2023 drop on Heavy Psych Sounds.
