Stoner HiVe’s Quick Fire Friday
It’s a hot and sweaty Friday over here! With temperatures reaching higher than 30 degrees. Which means it is the absolute perfect time for another round of Quick Fire Friday action! It is that thing we do to mention a lot of singles, EP’s, demo’s at once. Occasionally a full-sized album gets this treatment as well. And we know… They are worth way more of our time! But you know how it is… There is so much out there, so much good and heavy stuff, and we just simply cannot ever do it all justice. So here it is. The Stoner HiVe Quick Fire Friday! And it burns hot like molten lava!
Birth – For Yesterday
San Diego’s progressive psychedelic trio Birth is set to release their new album Born in about four weeks on Bad Omen Records. The first single for this thrilling seventies inspired, jazz rock influenced prog masterpiece is called For Yesterday. Nine minutes of pure unadulterated bliss and the overwhelming feeling that it might all be happening… It’s all happening!
Part of this was released on Youtube early May and then it turned into something more and some of that is already out on bandcamp. The rest however will also arrive in about four to five weeks. We’re talking about Joe, a one-man-band from Dorset, England channeling the desert sounds from around the globe called El Peyote. Stoner, desert rock with a lot of psychedelic background and a sweaty, sandy atmosphere. Hello Joe, what do you know?
APE! – Later Days
Later Days was the single from 2018 four-track EP Snotty Brat Rock by Philadelphia, Pennsylvania trio APE! You know APE! right? The time travelling weirdos sent from the past to save the future or kill Cobain or dance the polka with Dakota Skye or invent a perpetuum mobile that works on gore, filth and sleaze. Whatever the actual reason, their grungy, stonerish, punkish, alternative high energy rock is damn infectious and with a new video for Later Days we though we’d better let everyone hear that APE! stuff again, cause maybe you will find out what they were sent into the future for?

The four from Barcelona, Spain called Vidus delivered this single to our doorstep early April after releasing it on Youtube a few days prior. It’s called La Nube Púrpura, which means, I think, The Purple Cloud. And therefor it might just be referencing a book by that name from the British author MP Shiel known for his supernatural horror and scientific romances work. The music, a mixture of grungy tones, metal riffing, progressive touches, stoner, psych and a whole lot of attitude!

Death Valley Paradise – Demons
Looking for some diesel blues to get your engine running? Check out the heavy rock, blues inspired, stonerrock loving, three-piece called Death Valley Paradise from Glasgow, Scotland. It’s got some seventies touches, something The Absurd would love and instead of a whole lotta blues you get a whole lotta energy! Demons is the first single from a band that has only been together since December 2021. Open source recorded; which means that we might be in for a whole hell of a lot more in the near future!
