If you’re seeing this, you already probably know the deal. Bongzilla, the Wisconsin-based kingpins of crusty delta 9 riffing, are releasing their new album, Dab City, on June 2 through Heavy Psych Sounds, and to coincide with the launch of preorders today, they’re streaming the first single from the record, “Hippie Stick.” As you can see in the quote from the band below, it’s about a very potent joint. Does this joint exist? Is it the kind of gift you might get? Probably if you’re Bongzilla.

The rest of us, seems less likely, which is perhaps for the best since with hash, wax and flower, oil-dipped and keef-coated, it’d probably melt most brains not built up to it tolerance-wise. The omega joint — unless that’s something else even more weeded out. Universe of infinite possibilities and all that.

The song’s a roller, the album is verifiably Bongzilla. Like, it should come with a QR code you can scan to see lab results about the cannabinoid contents, various percentages of this and that so you can pretend to be a scientist while you get high. Not saying it’s not fun, not saying I’ve never done it, but am saying it is pretend.

But Dab City is real, grown with care, and, like the joint that inspired “Hippie Stick,” it’s also got flower inside, if only figuratively-speaking. Bongzilla are on the road most of this year (dates so far confirmed are here), and the rest of the info I’ve got at this point follows here, as per the PR wire:

SAYS THE BAND:

“This song’s about being gifted a SUPER strong joint. It’s got hash, wax, and Flower on the inside. Dipped in THC oil and covered with keef. The lyrics tell the tail!!

Dab City is an ode to the purest form of THC and our beloved hometown of Madison Wisconsin, which is known as Mad City. A political and social hot bed and lightning rod for our state and the Midwest since the 1960’s, Madison is also home to a large University with one of the best agronomy departments in the country and not surprisingly the focal point for some of the finest cannabis our country has to offer (Muleboy has not seen pot with seeds in it since arriving in 1993!). Although not legal, possession is basically ignored and punished with a nominal $1 fine for under 128 grams.

For the recording of Dab City we procured 10 g plus of the finest concentrates we could lay our hands on and somewhere north of 120 g of cannabis flower. And recorded it on 2-in analog tape over two sessions at Future apple tree Studio in Rock Island Illinois. Fall 2022 session is known as the Harvest Sessions and the February of 2023 session is known as the Propagation Sessions. The record is our 2nd as a three piece and our second full length release for our label Heavy Psych Sounds and continues our journey into ultra stoned sludgey psychedelia.

Dab City is 100% recorded on Tape, and is composed by 7 songs with a running time of almost 60 minutes of brand new Stoned Sludge Heavy Doomy Riffs.”
