Slow Season - Slow Season (2015)

Central California quartet Slow Season announce the reissue of their 2012 self-titled debut album via RidingEasy Records. The band’s unpretentious throwback full length has been remixed and remastered with new artwork for proper release on the same label that issued their popular 2014 sophomore album Mountains. The completely renewed Slow Season will be released on LP, CD and download on December 4th, 2015.

The band’s sound effortlessly nods to greats of the 60s-70s like Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, et al, without sounding like a caricature. Rather, as one can immediately hear, this is hypnotic, heavy, and howling rock ‘n’ roll that defies both musical and temporal categorization.

The Visalia, CA band — Daniel Rice (vocals, guitar), David Kent (guitar), Hayden Doyel (bass), and Cody Tarbell (drums) — scale new heights, while recognising where it all began. Having recorded both of their albums live on reel-to-reel at Tarbell’s home studio, the band eschews the digital trappings of music today to give their analog sound its crackling, kinetic energy.

Electric Wizard - Headline Desertfest 2016

One of the leading forces of the resurgent British doom scene in the nineties and noughties, alongside the likes of Cathedral and Orange Goblin, Electric Wizard have carved a legacy of thunderous, fuzzed-out ferocity. Formed in 1993, out of the ashes of Jus Oborn’s earlier doom projects, The Wizard hit the UK metal scene running. Their debut full length was a great enough introduction to what would become a legendary band, but their second and third albums, ‘Come, My Fanatics…’ and ‘Dopethrone’ respectively, are viewed as classics at least and genre-defining at best. Both albums were a punch to the gut of the doom and stoner rock genres; louder than an eardrum can take with more distortion than a kaleidoscope in a hall of mirrors. Electric Wizard have crunched onwards ever since, with five more devastating, misery inducing albums full of morbidity. One of the stalwarts who have ensured the burgeoning state of stoner rock throughout England and beyond, there couldn’t be a more appropriate band to head up this year’s Desertfest than Electric Wizard.

Wo Fat and Mothership - Announce "Texas Takeover Tour II Europe 2016"

By the time Ripple Music labelmates Wo Fat and Mothership hit the shores of Europe together next April, they’ll both have new records out. In the case of Wo Fat, that will be Midnight Cometh, their first full-length for the label — they also have a limited self-released split 7″ out in Dec. on which they cover Betty Davis‘ “They Say I’m Different”; already sold out — and for Mothership, it’s the Live over Freak Valley LP due Jan. 15 that captures their last voyage abroad. In any case, it will no doubt be a trip to remember, including as it does stops at Desertfest Berlin and London and world-famous venues in Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark and elsewhere.

Ape Machine - Coalition Of The Unwilling (2015)

A true four-piece, Portland, Oregon's Ape Machine has been called "a rock and roll band with a finger on the pulse of the 70's and their asses firmly in the present" and "real heavy-psych for the iPhone generation" that delivers "true guts and glory rock and roll." Combining psychedelic, classic and progressive rock with arena-worthy metal, bluesy stoner-rock and catchy riffs in odd signatures, Ape Machine's music carries an organic depth and warmth rarely heard since the time of rock's glorious early years (or your Dad's bad ass record collection) infused with an exceptional modern sensibility.
