Doomed Nation - Sierra Vista, Arizona based band FUZZ EVIL is a chug-heavy band that tames the fuzziest guitar and bass tones on the planet and wields them to blast a monolithic speaker-ripping fuzzpocalypse for your ears and soul. The tracks are raw and dirty in ‘The Stooges-like’ fashion with soaring soulful vocals.

Inspired by bands like QOTSA, Royal Blood, Fu Manchu, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, the Rudell brothers Wayne and Joey have cut their teeth grinding shows up and down the west coast with their high energy fuzz rock, and establishing themselves as a prominent and upcoming act in the heavy rock genre. The band has shared the stage with legendary acts like Uriah Heep, Nik Turner’s Hawkwind, Eagles Of Death Metal, Fu Manchu, Truckfighters, Acid King, Dead Meadow, Fatso Jetson, Crobot and many more.

In 2018 they recorded their »High On You« record with producer Paul Fig (Alice In Chains, Slipknot) at Dave Grohl’s legendary Studio 606. Fuzz Evil’s track »The Strut« from »High On You« later went on to be used in the hit TV show NCIS: Los Angeles. The band released their 3rd record »New Blood« in September 2023.

In 2024 the band added guitarist Preston Jenning and Cajun Adam on drums to move forward as a four-piece. In late February the band was signed by the US label . Fuzz Evil are currently gearing up to release their new album »Smear Merchants« March 21th, 2025 via Desert Records.

Read all about their upcoming tour from The Obelisk here:

If you look at the poster for the Sorcia and Mother Root tour that will take both bands from their shared home state of Washington to Montana for Rocky Mountain Riff Fest 2025, you’ll see the scaly snakey-snake that the boogie van is driving on — awesome, by the way — is on-point with the post...

Does anyone these days have the attention span to immerse themselves in a 30 minute song?
Well..if you do, "Chromosphere" by Droni Eye Omi is streaming on all platforms.

Album Cover Reveal 👀
‘Liminal Mass’ for DRONI EYE OMI’s debut album was created by the inimitable 🙌

We feel the artwork fits perfectly with the psychedelic/meditative drone that the band has produced on their first release.

This is true drone and minimalism inspired by Lamonte Young’s “Composition 1960 No. 7” and Earth’s “Earth 2”.
The band takes these primary influences and sends them straight to the cosmos.

‘Liminal Mass’ will be released on March 7th.

We are stoked to see that Ruben Romano is doing solo shows!
From Ruben:
“Here’s my acoTransplants Brewing Companye plot for my Sunday show up at I’m really looking forward to it!! Epiphone masterbuilt with modified duel output. So first output is a direct line to the house PA for that main sweet acoustic tone, second output to The tremolo pedal that is acting like an A/B box that also pings the effect back and forth between the amps. Hey, I’m going to be up there all by myself so I need all the help I can get!!”
