Stoner Hive’s Quick Fire Friday
Off on natural charge! Bon voyage! That's right, our very own in house poet and possible rap artist is off on a holiday, fueled by his own zealous energy and you might possibly stumble across him on some mic night in Dublin, May 25th! (The International Pub, Wicklow Street, starts at 20.00.) It's Ronny Dijksterhuis! And just before he ran out the door, he delivered another Quick Fire Friday segment in his very own style! And you know what that means...
Things will get hot and heavy from here on in!
On the
brink of a highly anticipated holiday break, it's time to spit out another Quick Fire Friday. And I mean, a quick one, Lucky Luke style. So, no rambling
about anything at all, just music, fired at you more rapidly than my keyboard's
shadow could.
Prodigal Man – EPMMXXVI
Let's start with the new two track ep by Japanese guttural sludge doomsters Prodigal Man. If your skull still hasn't been cracked after hearing this, your amongst a few unlucky people in the world.
Creeper Bud - Creeper Bud
Taking inspiration from bands like Black Sabbath, St. Vitus and Cathedral, Illinois-based Creeper Bud serves us one of the best stoner/doom crossover songs I've heard this year. No mean feat considering this is their first ever single. It already has me salivating over the prospect of a possible album somewhere in the future.
Much against my own expectations Burning Sister's latest single grabs me by the throat big time. Doom and hazy psychedelics are fighting over whether or not to engage in unholy matrimony (and associated activities). The result is a seven and a half minute song that's as hypnotic as it is elusive.
Leash – Sit
Leaning heavily on Fu Manchu fuzzadelics, combined with a spicy bite of Electric Frankenstein-style rock & roll, Leash (formerly Hudu Akil) deliver a fireball EP that'll have your neighbours complaining about noise pollution in no time.
GURT - No Limit (feat. Black Mist)
A raucous, rocking version of worldwide nineties dance hit 'No Limit' is the first excerpt from GURT's upcoming EP 'Survival of the Shittest', scheduled for release on June 5th. Unexpected, but fun and catchy as fuck.

The new single from Russian outfit Wommer (formerly known as EYE) addresses the topic of ancient evil in a gritty, aggressive heavy stoner doom track that is bound to rip your eardrums apart. Delicious one might say.
Thundergoat - Earthbound & Down
Want some more stoner doom goodness? Look no further than 'Earthbound & Down', the new EP by Tomah, WI's Thundergoat. Two tracks of weed-inspired goodness.
Cannabus - 4Runner
Canadian stoner rawk trio Cannabus are shaping up to release their first full length 'Ride the Bus' on July 3rd. They already released two tasty singles which were straight up stoner fuzz with a raw edge. Third single '4Runner' puts the pedal through the floor with speedrock meets turn of the century stoner. All drenched in an overdose of fuzz of course.
Cyborg Zero - Surfin' on Mars
On May 8th Go Down Records has released a remastered version of Cyborg Zero's 2021 self-released debut album 'Zero'. As an added bonus the re-released version starts with two brand new songs, one of which is this great stoner surf song 'Surfin' on Mars'. Turn up to 11 and shuffle those feet! And make sure to check out the entire album if you're not familiar with it yet. It's great.
