Bongzilla (USA)
Formed amidst the haze of Wisconsin in 1995, Bongzilla became the sonic architects of green musical journeys. With an enigmatic early period marked by split releases and EPs, their ascent led to a Relapse Records signing and the release of groundbreaking albums like “Stash” and “Gateway.” After a brief hiatus, Bongzilla returned with a revitalized lineup in 2015, embarking on extensive tours and delivering seismic performances at festivals like Roadburn and Desertfest. The Stoner Rock pioneers, now a thunderous trio, continue to blaze a trail, geared up with their new album “Dab City” and set to unleash their sonic onslaught.
