The evening started with the Norwegian Stoner Quartet, Slomossa. Since I didn’t know much about the band, I didn’t have any expectations. When they hit the first note, everyone noticed, including me. Opening with the 2024 full-length song “Rice”, tundra rockThe crowd was washed over with a thunderous intensity. Vocalist and guitarist Benjamin Berdous hits everyone with his brazen aggression.

Their last three songs, “There Is Nothing Under The Sun,” “Kevin,” and “Horses,” were all from 2020 Slomossa. Each song builds upon the powerful energy they unleash upon the audience. Beldos are very friendly. He mentioned that his throat was bothering him so he bought Nyquil which was not available in Norway. That was helpful, but he told the crowd to wake him up if he fell asleep.
Slomossa is a great find. Their music transcends many genres, including stoner, punk and hard rock. Their musicianship is impeccable, and there’s a boldness to Slomossa’s visuals. A band worth checking out.
Next up is Los Angeles spanish love song Led by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dylan Slocum. Their sound is punk-themed, mixed with emo and anthemic rock. Kind of like Sting on Prozac. Starting with the 2023 release of Losers no joythe whole house dug into the spacey and heartfelt emotion the band was kicking. Slocum’s voice is soulful and full of a cinematic edge. His voice trembled with dramatic tension, gripping the throats of his listeners. SLS’s lyrics also pack a punch.
So do you think we’ll get beyond that?
Free from the pain of mere existence?
whenever you want to leave your body
Or can’t understand this dream
you swear you like it better
When you can’t guess the ending
it never adds up
But don’t count yourself out
