Split EP
UNIDA/DOZER



Unida is John Garcia's new band, and hence a must for all Kyuss fans. This guy's vocal style is unique, very powerful and simply kicks so much butt that even a concrete elephant would fall over.

But Unida isn't just John Garcia - the other 3 guys all put in a solid desert/stoner performance, especially the guitarist.

4 rocking, grooving, dirty and dusty tracks to whet our appetite and tide us over until the full length album is released in the autumn. Pass me a cold 6 pack.

Dozer sound like Kyuss without John Garcia, so they are an ideal counterpart to Unida. Especially the bass sounds like Scott Reeder used to. Also 4 songs that make me want to drive fast along the motorway in an open convertible, my arm hanging out of the window getting a thick layer of dead flies squashed to it, while my other arm alternates between holding the steering wheel, the gear shift, a cold can of beer and my girlfriends knee - get the picture?

Just a shame the singer is a bit weak.

Released by Meteor City (MCY-005)
