Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 01:15 Interview with Benjamin of Slomosa 25:14 Slomosa - There is Nothing New Under the Sun 29:35 Interview with Keith and Craig of Sasquatch 54:02 Sasquatch - It Lies Beyond The Bay 58:38 Outro Slomosa Hailing from the west of Norway, the four-piece Slomosa has been making waves across borders. With their heavy sound the band coined their own genre - Tundra Rock - inspired by the American Desert scenes of the '90s. Influenced by bands such as Kyuss , Elder and Black Sabbath , their music is both heavy and groovy at the same time, with raw vocals and thunderous guitars. Growing up in a part of the country where high mountains and wild nature surrounds one, the group eventually came together in Bergen – coined by many as “the music capital of Norway”. After their debut concert late 2017, the band got signed despite not having released any music. After building a following through extensive gigging in their hometown, the band started working on their debut album. In October 2019 their first single, Horses , was released on all platforms, to much acclaim. The song premiered on national radio in Norway, with a notable Norwegian music journalist claiming it to be “...some of the best rock he’d heard the last years”. Their two following singles - There is Nothing New Under the Sun and In My Mind's Desert - further contributed to the band's growing hype, with Spotify listing their music on their official Stoner Rock playlist. Both singles further showcased Slomosa 's unique ability to merge heavy riffs with catchy songwriting, catching the attention of rock fans all over the world. In late August '20 the band released their much anticipated self-titled debut album Slomosa . https://slomosa1.bandcamp.com https://open.spotify.com/artist/0l7GXb53ndWn97ul8Hpfzd?si=rN9iK5cwSJOd7lgLnmbpqg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnE59Qxa3nU6JKFtrXjkIgA https://www.facebook.com/slomosaband/ https://www.instagram.com/slomosa/ Sasquatch Sasquatch is a rock band from Los Angeles, CA. The band was born in Philadelphia in 2000 and moved to Los Angeles in 2001 after Keith Gibbs (guitar, vox) joined up with Detroit natives Rick Ferrante (drums) and Clayton Charles (bass). Upon Clayton’s departure in 2007, the guys recruited Chicagoan Jason Casanova (Behold! The Monolith, Tummler) to join the fold. We arrive at 2017 and Dr. Craig Riggs (Roadsaw, Kind, Antler) is now shellacking the kit when he's not brewing coffee or watching the Red Sox. The band’s music has been featured on a variety of movies, television shows, and video games including the reissue of Clerks, FX’s original hit series Sons of Anarchy, A&E's Dog The Bounty Hunter, Jersey Girl, CW’s The Supernatural, and MTV’s Viva La Bam, Bam’s Unholy Union, and Rob and Big, NHL 2005, American Chopper, and Monster Garage. Coming off their first Australian tour and an extended US tour in 2019 with Nebula, the band headed back into the studio in 2020 and completed their six full-length record due out in March 2022. All’s fair in Love and Doom. https://www.sasquatchrock.us/ https://store.sasquatchrock.us/ https://www.youtube.com/c/Sasquatchrock https://open.spotify.com/artist/5w4idkfqBv56aZsoXgKjQg?si=ZXYQnNprTqqFsBa58VD96g https://www.instagram.com/sasquatchrock/ https://www.facebook.com/sasquatchrocks
