Stöner Announce New EP Boogie to Baja; Stream First Single
Today Cali-based desert rock freak/veterans Stöner announce they’ll release their new EP, Boogie to Baja, on Feb. 24 in continued collaboration with Heavy Psych Sounds, which has also put out their two studio LPs to-date, 2021’s Stoners Rule (review here), earlier 2022’s Totally… (review here), as well as the 2021 livestream/live record, ‘Live in the Mojave Desert’ (review here) and Live in the Mojave Desert Vol. 4 (review here) that were the introduction to the new project from genre figureheads Brant Bjork, Nick Oliveri, and their not-quite-secret-anymore weapon in drummer Ryan Güt.
The first streaming single from Boogie to Baja is “City Kids,” and you can hear it live up to the EP’s title at the bottom of this post. After finally getting to see this band live (review here) as summer drew down, I look forward to getting to know a new batch of stripped-to-the-core low-dez punk tunes. If you’ve been digging it, then chances are you can dig it.
Fresh off the PR wire:
STÖNER (w/ Brant Bjork, Nick Oliveri) to issue new record “Boogie To Baja” on Heavy Psych Sounds; first track streaming!
STÖNER, the desert rock supergroup formed by Brant Bjork (ex-Kyuss and Fu Manchu), Nick Oliveri (ex-Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age) alongside drummer Ryan Güt, present the first single taken from their new album “Boogie To Baja”, to be issued on February 24th through Heavy Psych Sounds.
Says the band: “During the recording of ‘totally…’, we were having a blast and the music just kept rollin’ out so we decided to also put together a tasty EP. Guests Mario Lalli on “Stöner Theme” and Greg Hetson of Circle Jerks and Bad Religion on our version of the Motorhead/Pink Fairies classic “City Kids” makes this EP extra sweet. Jump in and let’s Boogie To Baja!”
STÖNER is the supergroup formed by desert rock godfathers and long-time friends Brant Bjork (founding member of Kyuss, also former Fu Manchu), Nick Oliveri (Mondo Generator, former Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age) and Ryan Güt (Brant Bjork drummer). Their debut studio album ‘Stoners Rule’ was released in the summer of 2021, and they quickly returned with their sophomore studio full-length ‘totally…’ in the spring of 2022, alongside an extensive tour across the US, Europe and Australia/New Zealand including appearances in the biggest festivals.
Their new delivery “Boogie To Baja” features five tracks in the purest STÖNER tradition, a perfect mix of desert swing, stoner rock and low desert punk all at once! With Brant Bjork’s laid-back grooves and Nick Oliveri’s trademark fire, this is once again an explosive record that will drive all fans of the stoner rock veterans crazy. “Boogie To Baja” was produced by Yosef Sanborn and features appearances from Mario Lalli (Fatso Jetson, ex-Yawning Man) and Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks, ex-Bad Religion)
“Boogie To Baja” will be released in four different limited edition vinyl colors, black vinyl, CD and digital on February 24th, 2023, with preorders up now from Heavy Psych Sounds.
