Marijuana Johnson – Reefer Chamber

 

 

Marijuana Johnson – Reefer Chamber
Self released – 2023
Rock, Stoner, Doom, Metal, Punk
Rated: ***

We mentioned their Gem City Kush album from 2021, so we knew what kind of sticky icky we we're getting ourselves into, and are therefor pleased to smell Marijuana Johnson has returned with another bag of high life heavy rock! Stoner metal, doom and punk all rolled up into one nice and fat blunt. Since the three from Marijuana Johnson go full weed-referenced on everything they do and once again on their new six track Reefer Chamber, we feel we can do so as well. Cause the three are turning more and more into the Cypress Hill of the stonerrock scene, transforming the already weed referencing ‘stoner’ part into ‘weed’… Marijuana Johnson, in only a few releases time, have become the stalwarts of weedrock and turn their new Reefer Chamber into one heady listening party. They’ve got Sabbath like doom and proto to zone you out, they’ve got punk moments, for whenever you are guzzling them 40’s to quench your thirst and crunching headbanging metal for the munchies. Title track opener alone, the echo chamber, that is Reefer Chamber, will walk hard and all over you, turning you head to glass, and that one track will keep singing around in that brain of yours for hours and hours. And it might be a while before you realize you had the thing on repeat… Indeed, for all you Natural Born Pot Smokers out there, this could be the soundtrack to your life! And for all you non tokers, this will get you high!

Self released / Sweet Cheetah PR – 2021
Rock, Stoner, Doom, Metal, Punk
Rated: ****

Three-piece Marijuana Johnson from Dayton, Ohio, USA show their NBPS colors from the get-go. Yes, they have to be Natural Born Pot Smokers; cause the album is titled Gem City Kush, starts out with a Snoop Dogg snippet and with a vocal line that goes something like this: “Smoke all the Weed and fuck the pigs…” and a bit further down the line we hear: “You don’t want to smoke, best be on your way.” And ofcourse the track titles leave little to the imagination either with titles like This Smoke, Kush, Trees, Endo in the Outdo, Smoke Signals, Green Means Go. And I’m pretty sure Nuclear Godzilla will be the name for a certain kind of weed as well. So, its safe to say, these cats know how to get high. And that shines through in the music, which will get you high like second handed smoke given to you by that lovely girl in the corner that was holding the bong like her hands were made of Pattex. Oh yes, the Marijuana Johnson three know the deal and probably every dealer in your home town. But will this little Gem only entertain the Natural Born Pot Smokers? Hell no,  this is for every skater loving punk, for every punk loving hardrocker and every hardrocking metalhead. Cause it’s got all the goods and the bag is full of the pure stuff; so no seeds, no stems and no sticks! No stress! Just pure Gem City Kush!
