Much of Asteroid‘s aptly-titled third album, III, is unassuming. It arrives via Fuzzorama Records with a photo of the band’s gear — artfully shot, but a gear photo — on the front cover, and at seven tracks/36 minutes, it’s quick, almost humble listen. That’s precisely the point. It’s been six years since the Örebro, Sweden, three-piece […]
Digital preorders for Asteroid‘s third full-length, III, will go live on Sept. 12. The proper release date in Europe is Nov. 11, while the US gets it on Dec. 9, but wherever you are, however you order it, the arrival of a new Asteroid record is indisputably good news. The fuzzhappy trio from Swedish heavy […]
News you can use? Damn right. Reactivated Swedish trio Asteroid have finished their new album, III, and sent it off to the press. Release date isn’t yet announced but is impending through Fuzzorama Records and if you don’t yet have it on your wishlist for the remainder of 2016, put it there now. Go on — I’ll wait. Got […]
I’ll be interested to see how the lineup for Snuff Lane‘s Snuff’est 2016 plays out, particularly since the three stages for the event in Bristol, UK, at Stag and Hounds and the Exchange seem to be broken up by style. The headliners for each stage have been announced — Belzebong, the reactivated Asteroid and Radar Men from the Moon — and upwards of […]
Hailing from the northern side of Italy’s western coastline, it’s little wonder that Cecina trio Mr. Bison are looking to have a good time. The upbeat heavy rockers will release their second album, Asteroid, via Subsound Records on March 18, and it will serve as the foll0w-up to the band’s 2012 debut, We’ll be Brief, which showed some clear influence […]
Fest announcement season — as much as it ever stops, thus implying there’s a time when it’s on or off — continues unabated. Once Swedish heavy psych rockers Asteroid made their reunion official it seemed like only a matter of time before they started getting snapped up to play here and there, and I suspected Desertfest […]
Let the speculation end: Asteroid are back together. New material is in progress for a 2016 release and they’ll hope to tour next year as well. The Swedish heavy psych rockers ended on a fade after Move a Mountain/One Foot in the Grave (review here), a final 7″ single that followed what remains one of […]
Asteroid, II (2010) There had not been much word from Swedish fuzz jammers Asteroid in over a year until about last month. Guitarist/vocalist Robin Hirse had moved on to a new project, The Sun, the Moon and the Witch’s Blues, and by all accounts, the trio were defunct. Then, on Sept. 23, they asked the […]
