I have failed myself miserably by not discovering this band sooner... I haven't felt this good about a band since meeting Kyuss back in 1991. They were touring in promotion of their upcoming debut album at the time I was working at Tower Records. Since no one knew of them, no one showed up to see them. So we just got a couple cases of beer and hung out in the employee area drinking and talking about music, drugs, living in Las Vegas, etc. Don't remember who was working the register (someone must have)... but I still remember the chills I got listening to that CD when I got home.
Anyway, this band not only sounds very similar... almost 30 years later - it's giving me chills right now listening to it. I'm off to buy their entire catalog now.
