Normally I don't put new releases on here, and if there is ANY issue with anyone I will happily remove this......however, this is not exactly the new Christina Aguilera release (she is too busy sitting on my face anyway), this is the stoner legend that is Brant Bjork, and I'd think he'd appreciate thte word being spread on his new disc. Again, he, himself, his lable, his agent, his Uncle Freddie, anyone, have objections, just speak up and it will be removed quickly and with no hard feelings.So, a quick history for the unfamiliar......Brant Bjork was first the hard core drummer of stoner legends Kyuss (beleive it or not, as of YET, not featured here, no excuse as I have a ton of material.) Afterwards, he joined ANOTHER legendary stoner crew, Fu Manchu (and, to my OWN shock, I have never featured them, either, despite ANOTHER mountain of great material)....he has done some fine production work for the likes of Fatso Jetson, Mondo Generator (both of whom WERE featured here), as well as Fu Manchu, and released several solo albums, so he most certainly has had a colorful and significant role in the stoner scene that I have loved so much for such a long time.
This brings us to his latest project, Low Desert Punk Band, and thier fine album "Black Flower Power".....yet, another fine piece of bluesy-psych-stoner rock, it's great, had I compiled such a list, it no question would have checked in at my top ten albums of 2014.........great rock n roll, I think you will REALLY like this, calling Mark Eveliegh, haven't heard from you in an eternity, how bout checking this out (even though I bet you already did) and sharing your thoughts?
Anyway fine album.....as I said, against the grain a bit, so should anyone want it released it will be at once. Until then, though, rock the hell out, enjoy and it's only rock n roll.......try as I might I cannot find a specific list of his bandmates here, my assumption is its likely a floating conglomeration of Kyuss/Mondo Generator/Fatso Jetson, etc, remnants, can't be sure, but it sure does SOUND that way.As I said, this is GOOD, and NEW......get it while you can, I wouldn't blame someone involved for objecting to it's appearance here........grab while ya can, rock n roll lives on here!
