Portugal. The Man grabbed me with their eccentric rock on Church Mouth. On this album they sound a bit more relaxed and balanced. Tracks like People Say, The Woods, Everyone Is Golden, Do You, Mornings... Wow.
The Loved Ones never had big success, but they sure had the songs for it. Better Do Right is filled with a tasty blend of blues, rock & soul in a mod-ish outfit. Gotta love it!
The Atomic Bitchwax is a cool, heavy boogie trio from New Jersey. These guys mix ZZ Top, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath in their very own way. Give this one more than one spin, it's a grower.
This '69 album by the greatest female singer of all time is everything you'd want it to be. It's got all the soul you can imagine, a lot of funky grooves and those blue notes that hit the spot.
Candybar Planet was - if I recall correctly - a nineties stoner band from Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Saw them live a couple of times back then (a.o. Dynamo Open Air) and they definitely had a Kyuss vibe. On 32 Bitch there's a lot of cool & fuzzy riffin'.
