Stoner Rock is the fuzzed-out step-child of hard rock and heavy metal, often with hints of pyschedelic and blues rock as well as doom metal. Songs typically feature a bass-heavy groove, detuned guitars and mind-expanding lyrics (if there are any, that is).

Looks like my band will travel to scorching Malta this August. The line-up of Reeferfest exists of Hemplifier (MT), Witch Piss (BE) and Ditch (NL) so far, with a substantial headliner yet to be announced. It's going to be awesome!! :)
Interestingly depending which band you get the poster from depends on the order of the names.
First album, first song. amazing
Usually caters to more of a folk-punk/metal scene but lots of stoner rock in the mix this year. Gonna be sick.

Fucking love this sub. Amazing feeling to scroll through and see how much everyone loves the genre, and all these bands and their songs that have become such a huge part of me for the last half of my life.
I’ve been trying to hit up more shows but it’s hard to keep track of it all! I’m in the Nor Cal/Bay Area, it seems like a lot of bands in general have been skipping out on us. Clutch swung by my city last year and they were fucking electric and I’m so grateful they did. Any tips to stay in the loop?
