Stoner Rock


I have an immense passion for music. I've found my home in rock music (as well as metal). To me, there's nothing better than a great guitar solo to add onto a brilliant song.

It has recently dawned on me (the past couple of months) that there is a genre of music perfect for my tastes. It is a slower tempo, bass-heavy, bluesy style of rock that is centered around riffs and seems to be the continuation of Classic Rock. In other words, it's the raw, dirty rock that is Stoner Rock. In my opinion, there is no better genre. It takes the tradition of rock 'n roll and fuses it with a heavier sound that is orgasmic.

A few months ago, I wouldn't have realized that there was a genre named this, let alone find myself attracted to it. It all started when I was linked to the profile of a Detroit band, Novadriver. From there, I explored their label's bands that they promote, and my love for Stoner Rock was born. Before this, metal was starting to take over, and not that it's a bad thing, but this is just more proof that my heart lies with rock. I haven't looked back since, even though I still love certain styles of metal.

With all that said, I highly suggest that you people listen to some Stoner Rock/Metal bands that I am fond of:

Novadriver
Greenleaf
Dozer
Halfway to Gone
Red Giant
Clutch
Five Johnson
The Brought Low
Alabama Thunderpussy
Devil To Pay
Down
