Sasquatch
Founded in Philadelphia in 2000, but shaped in Los Angeles, Sasquatch have been providing the stoner hooks for almost two decades. Their mid-noughties one-two punch of 2004's self-titled and 2006's II introduced the world to the band's signature sound; a sound powered by Keith Gibbs (guitar, vocals) and his considerable pipes, with the rhythm section hold the tempo somewhere in the sweet zone between leisurely and lively without ever feeling sluggish or frantic.

Between then and now, Sasquatch have seen a few lineup changes and dropped a couple of swaggering monsters in III and IV respectively. It's their fifth album, Maneuvers, however, which lays forth a new era of Sasquatch; one that cuts straight to the chase with their diversions reigned in; more focused than they've been before. This is a Sasquatch ready to tear up any stage.
