Fu Manchu emerged from Orange County, California in 1985, initially as a hardcore punk act called Virulence before reinventing as a stoner rock band in 1990 and aligning with the Palm Desert scene alongside Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age. Their breakthrough came with The Action Is Go (1997), widely regarded as a landmark stoner rock album, built on heavily distorted mid-tempo riffs, surf-inflected melody, and lyrical obsessions with muscle cars, skateboarding, and 1970s B-movies. More than a dozen albums deep, including California Crossing (2001) and the double album The Return of Tomorrow (2024), Fu Manchu remain one of the most consistent and prolific acts in the genre.
