Graveyard - Lights Out

After last years "Hisingen Blues" received glowing reviews
from 70's heavy rock/stoner freakheads, this new album has
a lot to live up to.

Well fear not, Graveyard have come up with another slice
of majestic rockin'.


This does not quite delve into their doomy roots as much as
previous releases but has a much more warm, psychedelic blues feel
that is sure to blow away any winter feelings that may be creeping
into your soul. Accomplished song writing give all the songs an
expansive vibe that sing out to be played again and indeed, you
will want to play the album as a whole rather than cherry picking tracks.

As always, strong solid playing dominates, which means your head cannot
stop banging in time to the riffs that are flowing from the guitars.  The band
are  kicking on all cylinders and have agin come up with the goods.

Disastroid - Money and Guilt (2012)






















Band request from Studio SQ.

Disastroid play stoner and hard rock with a swagger and poise
that you would expect from a much more established band.

Crisp, catchy riffs bounce around held in place by the tight as
fuck rhythm section while the economical guitar solos make sure
that every note counts.

This record has a big sound and is not just rooted in the '70's for
its inspiration.

If you are into Fu Manchu & QOTSA, give this a listen.

Bio:
From time to time one stumbles on a record that simply kicks ass. Disastroid's upcoming LP "Money and Guilt" is no exception. This rock epic takes the listener on a ride through a minefield of tempo changes, metric modulation, and other surprises that turn your guts. By and large it employs the best that rock has to offer while showcasing refined musicianship and purpose.

Huge guitar tone, heavy riffs, driving rhythms, and melodic vocals are the salient components of Disastroid's music. While their sound can be reminiscent to some of the heroes of 90's rock (Melvins, Rollins Band, Jesus Lizard, Soundgarden, etc.), the band has a hard time labeling their work. As frontman Enver Koneya points out "We have no real formula... we just make music that pleases ourselves. It just so happens that others like the sound as well."
Enver assembled Disastroid in San Francisco from spare parts he found on Craigslist. After recording an EP on his own Travis Williams jumped on board taking over the bass chair. Travis has had great influence on the direction of the group and over the past three years he and Enver have prolifically written and recorded three albums, most recently with Braden McGraw on drums.
Since their inception Disatroid has been busy. In addition to recording the group has been gaining fans steadily as they perform along the west coast. They've also managed to amass a devoted following in their home base of San Francisco, a city which tends to be oriented toward the clinically critical and the cynically hipster. They were recently featured in Thrasher Magazine and have accumulated tons of local and national attention. On Disastroid’s horizon is a tour to the Pacific Northwest to support of the release of "Money and Guilt".
