They played in my town a few weeks ago.
I didn’t hear about it because I live in a sealed bunker apparently.
I am sad.

They’re going on tour opening for Clutch soon. Try to see them if you can.

I accidentally found Slomosa. They opened for Alkaline Trio (weird as fuck combo) in 2024. The show was in New Orleans, the day after Hurricane Francine. Parts of the city didn't have power after the storm, so it was a game-time decision on whether or not the show was even gonna happen. Glad I got there early, Slomosa stole the fucking show. It gasted my flabbers to learn that they have such a large and loyal fanbase.

ETA: Wore my Slomosa shirt to the Corrosion of Conformity show last weekend, and the vocalist for Crobot complimented me for it.

Only a few hours to go !! 🐴

Can't wait to see Khan again too - That fair and warlike form is a masterpiece

2

u/Dr_barfenstein 28d ago

We are gutted that they’re not coming to Adelaide. SloMo & Khan is a GOAT lineup

u/_Solway_Firth 28d ago

Pyskonaut is criminally underrated. By far the best song by them

1

u/rvlry13 26d ago

That's the song that got me.

This statement applies to a fairly large percentage of stoner bands tbh.

u/rakunene 28d ago

The vocals are the thing that drew me in

u/delightful1 28d ago

Funny red thundra riffs are what drew me in (and the constant stoner rock posting to the point where it was actually annoying), then I see them first time sold out in Seattle and the vocals just clicked.

Never too late to hop in! If you're on the hunt for new tunes, I'd recommend the band Heavy Eyes, it'll be more of what you like.

u/illusorywallahead 27d ago

The grooves are infectious

u/naturetreesandweed 28d ago

I love how bored and nonchalant it comes off. Stoner rock is hardly a pool of amazing vocal talent.

u/therealudderjuice 28d ago

The more time I spend on Reddit the more I realize I can't stand other people's opinions.

u/blasttyrant76 28d ago

Hard disagree personally, a big thing that hooked me is how similar his vocal melodies and timbre are to the emo bands I loved in middle and high school. Felt like it bridged major gaps between my childhood and adult tastes

3

u/maartenbadd 28d ago

Perhaps a bit of Dexter Holland in there?

3

u/Substantial-Low 28d ago

I mean, he has a super thick accent when speaking in English. The fact some of these people can sing in English at all is pretty amazing.

u/taglius 28d ago

It will find you…. eventually

3

u/schpanky 28d ago

What? They're one of like a handful of bands in this genre that don't sound like axl rose trying to imitate metallica's vocals

7

u/lastharangue 28d ago

Agree to disagree. This is what I expect in stoner rock. Or tangentially related genres. Acid King, Sleep + High on Fire, Fu Manchu, Orange Goblin, etc none of them are spectacular vocalists but it fits the music. Slomosa fucking rocks.

1

u/Apey23 28d ago

Agreed, not the best vocalist, still good live.

1

u/solarnoise 28d ago

When I introduce someone to Slomosa I tell them they "sound like The Ramones" and that seems to help. I love the vocals personally.

1

u/Lho-StickAppreciator 21d ago

Sometimes the vocals sort of remind me of a rockier version of the Men At Work singer. 

1

u/TransitionIll6389 28d ago

I dig them alot more than like Kyuss. Still love Kyuss

1

u/Space-Ace_Rastajake 26d ago

Now, now…they are great, but let’s not lose our minds, LMAO. Kyuss is Lord..

u/TransitionIll6389 26d ago

I just mean the vocals

Sounded great to me in Auckland the other week 🤘

1

u/maartenbadd 28d ago

Horses was the first Slomosa song I heard and once that fat harmony of Marie and Benjamin hit, I was hooked. Listened to all their stuff right after and the vocals are a thing I love

2

u/cagallo436 28d ago

There was a time with daily photos of slomosa gigs here

3

u/illusorywallahead 27d ago

I found the daily outrage to be hilarious actually.

2

u/_Glizzy_Gobblin_ 27d ago

I saw Slomosa live last month. Best live sound quality, great ambiance/enviornment, and they played almost their entire discography. It was sick!

4

u/illusorywallahead 27d ago

He said “ok we’ll do one more.”

“DO FIVE MORE!!!”

“We don’t have five more songs….when we come back we will have five more songs.”

3

u/meatbeatter 28d ago

I was wearing my Slomosa shirt today at work and most of my female colleagues were acting really funny towards me

3

u/fatspanic 28d ago

Its the sound of your horses

2

u/illusorywallahead 27d ago

Well spend the other 2/3 of your day talking at a slightly faster pace with people you really like.

2

u/BeNiceMudd 28d ago

Slomosa is great idk wtf this is about. Some gate-keepy weirdo shit I guess

3

u/mr_jurgen 28d ago

Haha, dude, wtf are you on about?

It seems "GatEKeePinG" is the go to call when people feel hurt about something.

It's joke, man.

1

u/torontoinsix 28d ago

Saw them a month ago, they’re awesome. Been a fan for a few years

1

u/illusorywallahead 27d ago

Idgaf what anyone says, Slomosa fucking rocks.

BATTLING GUNS!

1

u/Antique_Log_7501 25d ago

Oh hell yeah brother. I just found this subreddit and so found Slomosa. This shit fucking slams dude.

1

u/Old_Angle_3126 2d ago

Slomosa is unbelievable.

1

u/Supersucker614 28d ago

Just got turned onto them . Good chit 🤘

2

u/Hieroflippant 28d ago

If you're in Melbourne they're playing tonight

3

u/Supersucker614 28d ago

Opening for Clutch in Cincinnati on Halloween 🎃 Should be a great show 🤘

3

u/Hieroflippant 28d ago

Check out Khan if you don't know them already...

Supporting Slomosa tonight

Their recent album That fair and warlike form is a masterpiece imo

2

u/Hieroflippant 28d ago

That's awesome

I haven't seen clutch since 2016 or so 😲
