Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday
It’s been awhile! Oops, sorry for that flashback again. But we noticed the last Quick Fire Friday we did was way back in May! So, let’s remedy that fact immediately! Let’s shoot from the hip. Fire in a flurry! Here are eight deliciously hot singles, EP’s or albums that we desperately want you all to check out. And we know, we should do more… For there is so much great music out there, and we cannot ever do it all justice. So we came up with a way to shoot out a quick blurb and hope it will entice you to listen to the single or the entire discography! So here it is… Another Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday! And it burns hot like molten lava!
The Devil's Cabana Boiz – The Void
Two weeks ago they released yet another single! London's finest weekend warriors bringing you some more of their delicious groove and fuzz. This time however they deep dive into the human condition and turn out a little diddy about the human condition and our tendencies to numb the pain. A slower groove this time, riff heavy, and one that immediately warms the soul and serves as the perfect psychoactive substance to soothe the savage beast inside…

Mordbear – Mordbear EP
The Portland, Oregon three going under the name Mordbear are here to serve you three delicious goodies. Based on the sound of yore, the proto metal and the acid rock, the three deliver something inherently spellbinding. Captivated by their tones and their ability to morph that olden times sound into something current is absolutely delightful. The vinyl comes with an eight page comic book, illustrating each track and that must be a wild ride as well, since the tracks combine a weird theory about global warming, 60’s DMT trips and an esoteric view into self-transformation. The three found and share with us their recipe to produce stoner gold!

The Division Men – San Saba
Soon, The Division Men will release the full album entitled: Hymns and Fiery Dances. Shall we name all the collaborations that go on, on this record? Or just a few? Well, they currently include Rafael Gayol (Leonard Cohen), Rick G Nelson (Afghan Whigs, Twilight Singers, Polyphonic Spree, St. Vincent), Jay Reynolds (Asleep at the Wheel), Fredo Ortiz (Beastie Boys, Los Lobos), Leah Shapiro (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club), Dana Colley (Morphine), Asya Sorshneva (CocoRosie), Beto Martinez (Groupo Fantasma), Josh Marcus, Jacob Valenzuela (Calexico), Laura Scarborough, Barb Hunter (Afghan Whigs, Pigface), Eric Gorfain (Sam Phillips, Def Leppard, Queens of the Stone Age, Dr Dre), Peter Hayes (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club), Roscoe Beck (Leonard Cohen) and Alain Johannes (Eleven, Them Crooked Vultures, Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey). That should be enough. Enough to check out this single called San Saba and their full album Hymns and Fiery Dances with all that Americana, Western tinged rock. Cinematic and truly wonderful.

Superseed – Big Mistake
Did you hear and see Superseed’s first single and video Stand Your Ground? Hope so, cause we were honored to premiere it over on the HiVe. The full album Tremor drops in August on Savage Magic Records, but a new single was released two weeks ago. Big Mistake is no mistake, but a big hooked nineties alternative, grungy and infectious riff fest. And of course, there’s another grand video to accompany the song. A few grand spent no doubt!

Astral Goat Dominion - Lucifer (Part I)
Astral Goat Dominion is a ritualistic stoner doom sludge duo and apparently active since May 2024. Italian born but based in Germany they say and Lucifer (Part I) is their first single. Ritualistic indeed, a bit too stale because of it perhaps? Cause it might lack a bit of climax. But the overload on the fuzz reverb and evil organ sounds will spontaneously draw a pentagram in every listeners house…

Kokkinià – The Last Are Lost From The List
Out on Bitume Productions since the end of June, the reissue of the Kokkinià album The Last Are Lost From The List. Hailing from Athens, Greece, the four piece delivered this album digitally back in 2022, but it is now available on physical media. Added are two singles and the total package results in more than fifty minutes of alternative rock. Grunge inspired, prog touched and always nodding towards the nineties. Yamas!

Cannabus – The Other Jam
A jam, recorded during the Other Side sessions. Instrumental and groovy and happening and cool. It’s Cannabus and their single release The Other Jam. Way more seventies, and the kind of psychedelic blues that explodes out of your speakers. I love The Other Jam. I love Cannabus. And I love their cover art work for all the earlier releases. This one breaks from that tradition, just as the live track Desert Trip-Live At Rhune Mountain did. Which makes me a bit sad. But playing The Other Jam turns that frown upside down!

Scott Evil – Big Dipper
We mentioned their Pizzazz single back in May, but the new Scott Evil album Big Dipper is out now! On Spinda Records since early June. The alternative dream pop, the garage indie and the psych gaze just has something to it that makes you want to put this album on whenever the day promises to become exceptionally warm. This is that hazy early morning feeling. Or when the sun is about to set. Lounging and smiling…
