(Or, Artist Feature #2: Kyuss)
I have recently got back into an old favorite of mine-- Kyuss, a "stoner-rock" band from California. Also, for all the kiddies here: Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age is the guitarist here. Think of Kyuss as Queens of the Stone Age's (better) big brother. While the genre name might imply that their stuff is slow and psychedelic, Kyuss actually usually plays (er... PLAYED; they broke up quite awhile ago unfortunately) groovy, riffy hard rock with the occasional weedy twist. Another name for the genre they play is "desert rock", which I think is far more fitting-- it definitely is music you should blast while speeding through, say, Route 66. Anyway, I shall now post a few of their songs for y'all.
Son of a Bitch from Wretch
Thumb from Blues for the Red Sun
Space Cadet from Welcome to Sky Valley (the most "stoner" sounding song here)
