Drug Sauna - 2% Saunic

 

Label: self released
Year: 2020

Ok, stop me if you've already heard this pitch: 
A band, a two piece band to be exact, one guy plays drums and the other plays bass and sings. Easy enough. Ok, well this two person bands plays a warped version of doom sludge with bass tone could easily have been confused for a synthesizer, and a general vertigo sensibility. Still with me? Great, cause here's the twist, the band writes, records, and performs their weirdo rock music IN their vans. Physically inside a van. So, take that notion of "boogie van", and make it less about freewheelin' SoCal sun-and-fun, and more about Canadian head trauma (hockey induced, no doubt). 
Fucking unique, I promise you. When they yell "getting fucked up in the Drug Sauna" it seems like warning sign as much as a clarion call to the good people of Alberta. Like, if this van's a rocking, don't come a knocking, cause when these doors slide open a drug addled army of hesher freaks will emerge to gnaw your faces off. 
Don't believe me? Look.


And listen.
