Slomosa

Bergen, NO · 2016–present · active
Bergen, Norway's Slomosa channel their icy Nordic surroundings into what they call 'tundra rock,' a distinctive hybrid of stoner rock riffage, grungy hooks, and concentrated punk energy inspired by Kyuss, Elder, and Black Sabbath. Their 2024 sophomore album 'Tundra Rock' won Best Rock Album at Norway's Spellemannprisen awards, validating the band's vision of transplanting the sun-baked desert rock sound to Scandinavian terrain. Benjamin Berdous and Marie Moe's shared vocal duties add a melodic versatility that complements the band's thunderous, groove-laden guitar work.

Steak

London, England, GB · 2010–present · active
Steak formed in London in 2010 and became part of the UK stoner and desert rock underground through heavy fuzz, comic-book visuals, and a clear debt to the low-end swing of Kyuss, Monster Magnet, and Orange Goblin. Early EPs Disastronaught and Corned Beef Colossus established the band's thick guitar tone and road-worn attitude before the debut album Slab City expanded the sound with bigger production and a stronger desert-rock mythology. No God to Save and Acute Mania kept the riffs central but added more atmosphere, doom weight, and melodic shape, proving that the band could do more than repeat genre conventions. Steak's music works through feel as much as complexity: locked grooves, gritty vocals, dense bass presence, and riffs that stretch without losing their hard-rock punch. Their history also runs through the live stoner scene, with festival appearances and tours that placed them among Europe's heavier fuzz-rock acts. The appeal is direct, loud, and physical, but the songs carry a cinematic sense of dusty movement, long highway space, and amplifier heat.

Suplecs

New Orleans, LA, US · 1996–present · active
Suplecs are a New Orleans heavy rock trio formed in 1996 by Durel Yates, Danny Nick, and Andrew Preen, long tied to the city's stoner and sludge-adjacent underground. Their sound takes the weight of Sabbath-style riffing, the swing and heat of New Orleans rock and roll, and a rough sense of humor shaped by wrestling culture and local grit. Wrestlin' With My Lady Friend and Sad Songs... Better Days put the band on the wider stoner-rock map around the turn of the millennium, followed by Powtin' on the Outside Pawty on the Inside and Mad Oak Redoux. Hurricane Katrina disrupted the group's path, but Suplecs remained part of the New Orleans heavy scene, resurfacing with new material after long gaps rather than disappearing completely. Their later work keeps the low-slung groove but adds more mature emotional weight, touching on loss, addiction, family, and survival while still sounding like a band built around riffs first.
