STARTRUCKERS


StarTruckers are a French Stoner/Grunge featuring ex members of The Cactus Rodeo, Dismo, and Artefact/Ghostfather

The members are:

Sodarunk: Vocals
Flo: Guitars
Jez: Guitars
Chris: Bass
Ranko: Drums

StarTruckers play a very cool type of Stoner/Grunge/Psych/Desert Rock.

They have released two outstanding EP’s so far.

The Southern Sessions #1 



The Southern Sessions #2



Both are free to download from their BandCamp Page. Each EP is on for about 16 mins or so. But both feel much longer.

The guys play Stoner Rock music the way it was meant to be played. Fast, Fresh with loads of Desert Sun Guitar Riffs. They pay homage to usual suspects of Stoner Music – KYUSS, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu.

There is not one bad track on any of the EP’s. The guys are all excellent musicians. But the vocals make these guys standout from the rest of the Stoner Rock Genre.

I can hear influences of Chris Cornell, Roger Daltery through out both EP’s. He has hell of a voice that really adds to the music.

As stated before these are both excellent EP’s to own. But The Southern Sessions #2 is the best release out of the two. As they have heavier and longer tracks. Especially tracks like “The Walking Dead” and “White Mountain”. Just good time epic stoner rock tracks with cool vocals and even cooler guitar/drumming.

If these sessions are to show that we have a new Stoner Rock band to follow. Then I am sold as I want to see more of these outstanding Sessions as they call them.

Superb Stuff from StarTruckers.

So get downloading now. And you will have one of the coolest 31 mins of your summer here.
