Amazing band that combines mind-melting psychedelic jams with loud stoner riffs. Think if Earthless went doomy and started producing OM-like meditations.
Husky – The Sea King (2008)
“Based in Charlotte, NC, Husky is made up of Mark Hadden (bass), Phil Strickland (guitar), and Nate Wilkinson (drums)… In the past nine years, the instrumental trio has grown from spinning improvised epic rock jams to firing off focused, intelligent yet simple tunes. Ranging from thick, head nodding Southern grit-rock to echoing bluesy twang and swirling psychedelia to ambient soundscapes, Husky’s masculine punch has been embraced by fans of blues and classic rock to modern and stoner rock aficionados to fans of sweeping melodic post-rock. Their improv skills often come into play during live shows, and they rarely play the same show twice.”
Sphinx Tush – Crashville (1970)
Sphinx Tush is a live band in true sense of the word. This is probably the only track that was saved til’ this day. It’s recording of their improvising on some German festival. What we have here is destructive symphony of fast, head-banging heavy rock jam only 5 minute long – but that’s how rock ‘n’ roll music should be… short, raw and fast.
Edgar Broughton Band – Untitled Freak Out (2004)
Previously unreleased bonus jam by English psychedelic rock band Edgar Broughton Band recorded at Abbey Road Studio Three 21st January 1969.
Paul Chain “The Improvisor” – Full Moon Improvisation (2000)
Italian doom legend with moniker “The Improvisor” during his improvised space rock period.
Losalios – Colorado Shit Dog (2002)
“Losalios is an instrumental band from Japan which plays a mix somewhere between Jazz, Rock, Punk and Avant-garde which could be considered Math rock.”
The Whirlings – The Whirlings (2011)
Laid back psychedelic jams for meditation by Italian band The Whirlings.
The Hedgehogs – Depths (2011)
“The Hedgehogs is a young garage-psych quartet of Aalborg, Denmark, combining garage and psychedelic rock virtues, with heavy inspiration from the Austin, Texas-psych scene of the 60’s and 70’s.”
Max Headroom – Stonerman’s Friend (2011)
“Max Headroom is a power trio that plays entirely improvised stoner rock jams. The band was formed in late 2010 by three musicians that come from Plutonium Nyborg (doom), Fal-Tor-Voh (stoner rock), Fresh & Frozen (grunge), Musical Chairs Collective (improvised) and now guarantee a diverse set of psychedelic desert rock so that every rocker will automatically headbang!”
Dire Wolves – Jams And The Giant Peace (2010)
“Dire Wolves, currently based in Pittsburgh PA, has a loose membership which often includes Jeffrey Alexander (Black Forest/Black Sea,Avarus, Secret Eye Records), Matt McDowell (Sagas, Dark Yoga, ArcoFlute Foundation), Ian Bonnet, Jennifer Myers, Dan Letson, Davide Manbeard Lifrieri, Joshua Kretzmann and Kenny “K-Doh” Donut. Dudes are on an endless trip of burned-out guitar riffs, stoned basslines, wasted vocals howling at the moon…fuck, I wanna jam! In the back-wash of Fennario, the black and bloody mire/the dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire.”
