intro
Unsurprising, but solid stoner rock on debut album from Utah-based band, Dwellers
Dwellers bring a good, gritty sound to Small Stone’s stable of 1970s rock worshippers. Budgie, Black Sabbath and Jamieson Raid are hardwired in the trio’s DNA. Fans of Iota should know that Dwellers features that band’s Joey Toscano on guitar and vocals, while bassist Dave Jones and drummer Jack Hatsis provide the appropriate amount of thump and crunch for the album’s six slow-burners. There aren’t any real surprises for fans of the Small Stone label: Toscano has a Layne Staley-styled wail and lays down some Valis-ish phased guitar on lead track ‘Secret Revival’, then some fuzzed out blues work on ‘Black Bird’ and some Sabbath-loving licks on ‘Vultures’. All in all, a very solid addition to the stoner rock pantheon.
