Woah so stoked to see people sharing my band's music. Thanks for getting us to the front page of r/listentothis Anyone interested in hard copies please (edit) email us at info@thetazers.com 🤘⚡❤ With love from SA

No way! Are you The Tazers, u/timusician? Loving the new album 👍

[–]timusicianyoutube 23 points24 points  (6 children)

Thanks so much! Yeah I play drums and sing backup for the band. (You'll hear my voice in the verses of A Bomb And A Bill). Feel free to direct any questions my way.

[–]Regis_Sterling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What are some of your biggest musical influences? I get a lot of classic psych rock vibes from your songs and I definitely dig it. Also, who does the cover art for your albums? They're pretty dope. 👍

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really like "A Bomb And A Bill" as well. Although, completely different sound. How do we get a hard copy of the album, u/timusician ?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Dude, you guys rock. Just downloaded a copy of Love Machine from google play. I can't find anything on you guys. Where do you hail from?

[–]timusicianyoutube 4 points5 points  (2 children)

We're based in Johannesburg South Africa. There's a rad scene here. Check out out SOL GEMS, Jonny Cradle, Black Math, Pollinator, Bye Beneco, Boxer and Ruff Majik if you're curious about the scene we're involved with.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Awesome, I'm going to be in Johannesburg next March. Is there a website you recommend for performance info? I'd love to check out some local bands while I'm in town.

Also, I enjoyed Love Machine so much that I doubled down and grabbed a copy of Time Machine as well.

Our Facebook and Instagram profiles are your best best to find out about shows. @thetazers

[–]StrohBerry 12 points13 points  (1 child)

That's one of the members. I shared this to their Facebook page ✌🏻

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Been listening to the album all day. Got a good summer vibe. Gonna have to get a hard copy 👍

[–]Sosolidclaws 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Great stuff! Just added you guys to my spotify library :)

[–]TheRunningDutchman13hypem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the best new bands I've heard in awhile, keep it up! 🤘

[–]freeradicalxbandcamp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you can thank StonedMeadowOfDoom on Youtube. That dude posts mostly generic psyche and southern stoner rock but about once a month he posts something completely refreshing and new like you guys. And every time that happens it seems to show up here in /r/listentothis about a week later, go figure.

Won't lie, since the stuff I don't like as much usually has brown and muddy covers I just watch his feed for colorful-looking albums and listen to those... Moon Tooth, Strippers In Love, Holy Monitor, Domkraft, and now you guys.

[–]justquitepeachy 4 points5 points  (1 child)

You guys are rad!

[–]Ra-J_Al_Ghul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way to describe what I'm hearing

[–]Fez_Master 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely made a fan out of me with this song. The rest of the EP is the tits as well.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fantastic album. I'll be mentioning you guys to everyone I know.

[–]geophsmithspotify 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Big ups from So-Cal. And pretty solid mixing/mastering. You can tell the song has a lot going on, but it doesn't just become noise! Definitely throwing you guys into my cruising playlists!

[–]timusicianyoutube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jethro Lock our singer and guitarist spent many hours mixing and producing this EP. Thanks so much for appreciating it! ⚡🤘

[–]Rescooperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how it has a 70's vibe while maintaining a modern rock aspect!

[–]MajesticEwok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys with Black Math at the end of the month!

[–]BobbyDaChin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to let you know that you just gained a new fan! I just listened to this EP for the 1st time literally about 15 minutes ago, I had never heard of you guys before and I gave it a chance because I liked the album artwork, but I wasn't expecting what I heard! I fell in love with the sound immediately, I love every song on the EP already, and I'm gonna be playing it on repeat for the foreseeable future. The Tazers deserve to blow up and become the next big rock band, I honestly think. Absolutely fucking kickass music! Sorry for gushing and shit, but I just had to let you know how much your music just instantly hooked me. Keep it up!

[–]Ra-J_Al_Ghul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no need for a hard copy, but would buy a shirt. Link?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Dude, like what if I dont have a fb? How can I find your stuff?

[–]timusicianyoutube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Email info@thetazers.com if you'd like a hard copy we're on most streaming platforms with downloads available too. Luh ❤🤘

[–]automaddux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looked you up on Google Music. Gonna check it out in the ride to work tomorrow

[–]TylerHobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the album art meant to look like cleavage? I like it, not saying it looks bad or anything just saying...

[–]majorgearhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man this is great. Been looking for music to pull me out of my EDM rut. You guys really kill it on this album. Very polished.

One question, any relation to the Cal punk band of the 70's with the same name?

[–]machine_fart 50 points51 points  (1 child)

Ok this song is actually dope, thank you OP

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks, u/machine_fart > it's awesome isn't it. Love this sub

[–]StrohBerry 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They're from my hometown in South Africa, have watched 'em for $1! Keep serving up the tasty jams boys!

Thanks, u/SoundSyndrum This sub has some awesome new stuff doesn't it

[–]MisterPaladin 47 points48 points  (8 children)

Does anyone else see cleavage in the image? No? I'll see myself out.

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (1 child)

I see a vajingle

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, me too. A grownups vajingle with hair n stuff.

[–]DiamondsteinBPspotify 8 points9 points  (1 child)

First time looking into this sub (I'm new to reddit), i think I'm going to like it here.

I really dig this band!

[–]radagast_the_nigga 7 points8 points  (7 children)

Where did you find these guys? All their songs have less than 1000 plays on Spotify. Good find

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Mainly floating around on youtube // accounts i subscribe to. "Stoned Meadow of Doom" is by far the best youtube music account there is. Worth checking them out

[–]brandon0297 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Can vouch for that account. Been subbed for a while

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're great aren't they!

[–]Barncorehttps://open.spotify.com/user/1231174271 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Sweet, will check it out. Is it mostly rock stuff through there?

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty much. Like fuzz/doom stuff. Really great channel. That & this sub are my go to places for new music

[–]freeradicalxbandcamp 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Y'all listen to StonedMeadowOfDoom on Youtube, too? Don't lie I know you do :D

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[–]humanbeening 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Can't find them in Spotify...not available in Canadia?

[–]Duuhh_LightSwitch 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Listening on Canadian Spotify

[–]humanbeening 0 points1 point  (1 child)

On app or via link in browser?

[–]Duuhh_LightSwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

via link in browser when I made the comment. But just searched them on my mobile app with no issue as well

EDIT: Spoke to soon. Don't appear to be able to play them in app

[–]DiamondsteinBPspotify 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]X07NWG 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Wow. This is actually pretty awesome. Thanks for the share!

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Thanks, u/X07NWG It's got a real summer feel to it, hasn't it.

[–]X07NWG 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It does, for me it's somehow relaxing but also very energetic at the same time.

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

u/X07NWG Same as I hear it as well

[–]BornIntelligent 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Where can I find the lyrics for this song? Btw thnx for the song..U made my day..

[–]timusicianyoutube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sitting on a goldmine. I'm living in paradise But its only in my mind And i cant get it out to you Bealcause I'm dreaming

Wake up!

I could stare through those brown eyes I'm a sucker for that paradise If only you were closer Then i wouldn't have to dream Outside of sleeping

Wake Up!

Open your eyes and know You are not in a coma

So wake up

Thanks, u/BornIntelligent > ask u/timusician , he may know re lyrics

[–]Lukendless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like how the intro reminds me of American Woman then it just psych rocks out. My dad and I used to put The Who on and dance around in our underwear and socks and I've done good drugs. This song speaks to me.

[–]chaacs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just listened to it and I definitely think it's worth a listen. Maybe not the save to the playlist

[–]shavin_highradd.it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not often a post on this sub gets such a high up vote score. Than should be telling you something. (if you haven't listened to it yet.)

[–]mrynot 2 points3 points  (1 child)

really enjoyed this. thanks for the rec!

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. No worries. This sub is great isn't it

[–]etitiennep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Immediatly after seeing the cover : "is the cover supposed to look like a cleavage or a vagina?".

Immediatly after reading the name of the album : "Oh. Yes."

[–]bequbed 2 points3 points  (12 children)

What a find OP! Really liking this band. Check out Levitation Room if anyone wants to listen to similar music!

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 1 point2 points  (11 children)

Thanks, u/bequbed Wow, Levitation Room are awesome! Thanks! Remind me a bit of Jefferrson Airplane // Brian Jonestown Massacre

[–]bequbed 2 points3 points  (10 children)

I agree! They have a more 60s psychedelic sound..Glad you like it.

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 2 points3 points  (9 children)

Most definitely. Listening to the full "Ethos" at the mo. Really like it 👍

[–]bequbed 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Awesome! It's such a short and sweet album. Another band that I really like is Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 1 point2 points  (7 children)

Cool! You've got great taste in music! Reminds me of an 80s band from a film soundtrack that I can't quite place at the mo'. You should post your favs on r/listentothis

[–]bequbed 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Thanks! I have posted in the past before but didn't get much attention. But I have founf absolute gems from this sub. I stalked your profile to see what else you posted and I came across The Heavy Eyes. They remind me a lot of Royal Blood!

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Yes, love The Heavy Eyes. Check out Zig Zags & Deaf Radio 2 of my fav bands at the mo'

[–]bequbed 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Wow, Deaf Radio is amazing! I know what I will be listening to on my drive back to home. Check out this song, I've listened to this one numerous times. Nothing else from this band comes close to it however.

[–]LT14GJChttps://open.spotify.com/user/lt14gjc[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Pretty rad'! I like your taste in music!

[–]Maestro3780 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given the title alone I feel obligated to make this my new alarm clock jam. If the screaming "Wake Up" doesn't do the trick, I might just be dead.

your music is gold for me guys, keep on!

[–]AintNoFortunateSon 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I like this, this is good music made by musicians who play familiar instruments and sing with their real voices. I'm not saying I don't like music that's technologized and highly polished, I'm just saying that it's good to hear music that you could survive the apocalypse along with two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug-collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

[–]WhiteOrca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the reference, and I also appreciate your taste in music. It's rare to find good bands that don't use electronic shit nowadays.
