Salem’s Bend Release Supercluster Next Month; New Song Streaming
Take five minutes out of your busy day and get introduced to Salem’s Bend‘s new record, Supercluster, by streaming the track “Spaceduster” at the bottom of this post. It’s right on classic-style heavy rock, with natural tones and melodies and a vibe that stretches way outside the confines of its runtime. It is — as the kids once said — way cool, and its May 24 arrival will be preceded by a run of dates around the Los Angeles trio’s appearance earlier in May at Desertfest London 2019, for which they’ll join a lineup that itself is way outside the confines of the fuckwithable. Breaking free of confines all around it seems, and the hypnotic jammy feel of “Spaceduster” suits that intention well. It’s not long, and it doesn’t get lost in itself, but yeah, if you’ve got five minutes, do yourself a favor. These guys might just really be onto something here.

SALEM’S BEND: LA-based Psych Trio to Release New Album, Supercluster | European Tour Kicks Off Next Month
Supercluster by Salem’s Bend is officially released on 24th May 2019 on Ripple Music
Ripple Music is thrilled to announce the release of Supercluster, the brand-new album from LA-based rock trio Salem’s Bend.
Cutting their teeth in various outfits over the years, after idly deciding to crawl into a garage one day, three unassuming dudes emerged into sunlight as a mighty hard rock triumvirate skilled in the execution of maximum Sabbath, Priest and Zeppelin worship…
…for on this day, Salem’s Bend was born.
Running an aural gamut of ’70s-sounding classic rock with the influence of melodic heavy-hitters from the contemporary realms of desert, doom metal, psych and stoner rock, the band coalesced in the summer of 2014 with the intention of turning heavy riffs into the catchiest of tunes. With seven songs eventually making the cut on what would become their self-titled debut, the trio earnestly self-released their efforts via Bandcamp, and in doing so caught the ear of Ripple Music. Garnering some early praise one reviewer commented on just how well the band managed to, “Forge their own searing, raucous guitars; intense, deep bass; and athletic, punctuated stickwork around some of the most intelligently interesting melodies to float through the stonersphere in quite some time.”
Salem’s Bend subsequently signed with Ripple, who gave their debut a worldwide release on vinyl, CD and digital in 2016. Since then, they have been taking their hard-hitting live performance on the road, touring every few months around the Western US and Canada and playing festivals such as SXSW, More Beers in Hell, Vantopia, and many more.
This May, thanks to the good folk and fellow Californians at Ripple, Supercluster – Salem’s Bend eagerly awaited follow-up to Salem’s Bend – will receive an official worldwide release on 24th May. In the meantime, you can stream and share new song ‘Spaceduster’ via Ripple Music and catch the band across Europe (see dates below) as they tour in support of the new record.
