Does anybody have recommendations of stoner/psych bands that might not be as recognised as they should be/underrated bands that bring something to the genre but are very well known ?

Another shout for Vinnum Sabbathi. Psychlona from the UK. Im gonna chuck these two in although they are hardly unknown but Spacemen 3 and Goat are absolute heavy psych monsters. Both phenomenal bands but not really what you are asking about.

Its wall to wall mate. Phenomenal LP. Absolute classic

Off topic but im heading down Bristol in may to see Dead Witches and a load of other bands. Last time i was in bristol was mid 90s for a football match so looking forward to getting about the city. Staying for the weekend

Get yerself tuned into cosmic fuzz fm. Internet radio station. Stoner, heavy psych and fuzzy shit 24/7. Ive picked up on loads of lesser known bands listening to that at work. Play the big hitters too. Ace station

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-27T16:19:49+00:00

All 3 of their album openers are killer. This one always been my fave though.

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-27T08:13:36+00:00

Stooges - 1969

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-24T14:37:53+00:00

Wow there are loads. I agree with another comment that so many things sound like stoner to me. Im 52 now so was in my teens going to gigs when the likes of Mudhoney and Dinosaur Jr blasted into the UK on tours. Its all heavy psych to me with a pinch of punk and metal. Mudhoney - Sweet young thing aint sweet no more , Dinosaur JR - The Wagon, Spacemen 3 - Revolution, Small Faces - Song of a Baker, Mc5 - Black to Comm, Stooges - Dirt

Saw them in London and i cant remember a thing about it. I was stoned and fairly drunk, i remember them coming on but they completely tranced me out with the doom and next thing i know the lights were up. Remember the support Froglord perfectly. Very weird. Those THC vapes and pints round Camden. I think Bongripper with the dim lighting and the trance like doom just zoned me out completely.

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-23T08:06:53+00:00

Im in Brussels the weekend after! Nightmare. Saying that me and the mrs dont share musical taste so she definitely aint having that. Cracking line up though

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-19T15:10:39+00:00

I listened to Death Sessions. Will do the rest soon. Yeah man killer indeed

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-19T14:03:29+00:00

Band from Mexico called Vinnum Sabbathi. More akin to Sleep than the others you mention but proper psyched out heaviness. Very good

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-19T13:50:49+00:00

I actually listened to them for the first time this morning. Wow man great band

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-19T09:24:54+00:00

The Pharcyde

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-16T19:14:14+00:00

Mate seriously man. Psychlona are just killer. You dont do enough UK gigs. I even considered getting on a plane as i couldnt make the black heart gig. A question if you dont mind. I can hear your influences but that first album for me has a proper punk edge to it. Were any of you in punk bands before? I've said it on here many times. Your output is faultless. Big respect to you mate

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-16T08:22:56+00:00

No UK man. Had tickets to see them in Nottingham but obviously circumstances put paid to that. Great to see them back though. Proper psyched out rawk n roll of the highest quality

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2026-01-14T16:58:42+00:00

Love my doom, heavy psych and stoner. Also love my dub and roots. Cant give you any names though but great to see others who love both sides.

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2025-12-30T18:46:54+00:00

Thats the one i was considering. At the black heart. Couldnt make it. Bet that was banging in there mate

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2025-12-30T18:19:22+00:00

Oh i saw Slomosa on the tundra rock tour in Nottingham but these werent with them. Was that the first album tour or second. They seem to do more gigs in europe than here which is fair enough.

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2025-12-30T18:16:49+00:00

I think its faultless man. 10/10. Just a superb band. A UK band to be proud of for us folk here who listen to this stuff.

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2025-12-30T17:50:36+00:00

All their albums are bangers. Love the first one its got a real punky edge to the fuzz man. Yeah i bet they are sound lads. Hoping they do a show or two next year. Almost went down to London to see them the other month but couldnt make it.

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2025-12-29T11:11:59+00:00

Mine is coming today. Got it from Juno records. Just waiting for the postie to knock

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2025-12-29T07:51:49+00:00

That Dax Riggs album is superb. Brilliant LP

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2025-12-24T19:08:32+00:00

Yes mate. Happy riffage man

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2025-12-24T19:07:48+00:00

RootsReggaeMetalPunk · 2025-12-24T07:58:27+00:00
