Mothertrucker

Once described as "the audio equivelant of heroin", Birmingham quartet, Mothertrucker create one unholy racket. With an impressive list of influences, their sound encompasses the bludgeoning desert rock of Kyuss and the epic instrumental nature of Mogwai.

Tours and shows with the likes of Aereogramme, Yndi Halda, The Pirate Ship Qunitet and Bossk, has brought them to the attention of the rock bibles Terrorizer ("Hypnotic") and Metal Hammer ("anyone who can write such punishing riffs, deserves success"). A must for any self-respecting post-rock/stoner rock/heavy rock fan, I've just ordered their "Electric Blacksmith" ep and you should too (it's only £3).

Need some more convincing?. Listen to the mp3 (kindly donated by the band) below at face-shattering volume.
