Bio:
A
heavy riff, a rock’n roll pulse, a warm wind dry as a burning stone
under the Texan sun. This is the sound of Startruckers: dirty
Southern Rock music, emerged from the 90’s. Here, it’s not about
tight jeans, spikes or emo fringes: it’s just a good old powerful
sound, fed with Stoner, Grunge and Jack Daniel’s. With members from
the coolest bands on the French Riviera (Dismo, Artefact,
Ghostfather, and The Cactus Rodeo) who were fed up with making
concessions, and who wanted to do just one thing: play their own
music, together, old school style, to prove to everyone that the 90’s
rock hard! Startruckers will kick your ass, dude!

Review:
OH FUCK!!! - Look who's
back to cause more trouble with their heavy desert rock/stoner rock
riffs. It's those damn Startruckers with their newest EP – The
Southern Sessions #4.
Well it's been 2.5
years since they released Volume 3. Now they return with their best
release to date. The Southern Sessions #4 is here to kick your ass to
kingdom come as this is fan-freakin-tastic. Wait till you hear the
opening riffs from Deserter. A brilliant Desert/Stoner Rock song with
riffs to die for. And just wait until you hear the vocals.
This will transport you back to the 1990's when Stoner Rock was king. This is a hard-rocking EP that shows why I rate these French Stoner Rockers so highly. They add a healthy dose of Grunge and Southern Rock into the mix as well. Their sound has became more heavier since their last EP and it means you will be rocking out for the entire EP's 16 minute run time.
2nd track –
Black & Blue Soul – is a Southern Based Rock track with
Vocalist Sodarunk on fine form once again. This is addictive stuff
indeed. Startruckers are one of my fave bands from the French Stoner
Rock scene and this song proves why. It's an action packed tale you
won't be able to stop singing along to from start to finish. This
will leave you with a nice warm fuzzy glow inside. Trust me!!!
3rd track –
Northern Tusk – starts rather slowly and sees Startruckers in a
more sombre mood but you know it won't last long as laid-back grooves
isn't their style. And in true – Startrucker fashion the heavy as
fuck Stoner Rock riffs kick this EP into life for one last time. And
it's a heavy thunderous journey which leaves you begging for more
once again.
Startruckers have done
it again. They have released another excellent EP to check out. Come
on guys. Enough with the EP's, release the début full length now. Or some nice small indie label – Give these guys a deal now. You have
4 brilliant EP's to check out how seriously talented this band really is.
Look – Headover to
BandCamp now and download this now as it's available for free
download. You won't be sorry. This is as good as it gets for Stoner
Rock fans.
Brilliant and Highly
Recommended.
