John Garcia - https://www.facebook.com/JohnGarciaOfficial
If Rock’n’Roll is personified by the Stones and Pop music by the Beatles, then Stoner was born with Kyuss. From the heavy, suffocating, arid Coachella Valley and the mystic Californian Desert around, came this legendary band 25 years ago —desert rock, got it ?— debuting with happy-few gatherers among their so mysterious «generator parties» secretly launched deep within the haunted canyons at night, and then reaching definitive cult status they do deserve worldwide ever since, with hardcore fans such as Dave Grohl or Metallica in awe before their three genre-defining masterpieces Blues For The Red Sun, Welcome To Sky Valley, as well as ...And The Circus Leaves Town until their split in 1995.
Their incredible singer is John Garcia, a howling, soulful, amazing voice somewhere between Ian Astbury’s and Glenn Danzig’s, also famous and highly praised for fronting the short-lived stoner-favorite Slo-Burn, the powerful and groovy mastodon of Unida (including their strong and loud first album Coping With The Urban Coyote) sometimes resuscitated for a few shows, and then, last but not least, great heavy-rockers and somewhat supergroup Hermano.
Generous and curious, John Garcia has also guested on countless fellow-bands’ songs besides his dozen flawless and monumental albums, from his friends of Karma To Burn to Arsenal, and from Danko Jones to electro kings and award-winners Crystal Method on their hit “Born Too Slow”.

Elder - https://www.facebook.com/elderofficial
Elder is the definition of a work in progress, as the group continues to meld the familiar sounds of Sleep‘s colossal riffage with their ever-evolving vision of soaring melodies and sonic soundscapes. Listeners will find themselves locked into the trio’s lengthy epics, which toe the line between the chasms of classic stoner metal and mindblowing psychedelia.

Since the release of 2010′s Dead Roots Stirring, their second full-length record for MeteorCity Records, Elder has continued to push their sound in more dynamic and inspiring directions, while still holding true to their original methodology: all heavy, no filler.

Mos Generator - https://www.facebook.com/MosGenerator
"If there's such a thing as fusing some soul into a doom palette, MOS GENERATOR has achieved that. Seldom will you hear an unambiguous merge between the two outside of BLACK SABBATH's "Sabotage". Tony Reed (guitar, vocals), Scooter Haslip (bass) and Shawn Johnson (drums) have tapped into a loud vibe featuring sinister and coarse nuances yet with something revealing far more heart".
Ray Van Horn Jr.- Blabbermouth
