Riff
Fist is a new Australian stoner rock band featuring Cozza (bass and vocals)
whom I had met at Roadburn Festival a few times and he does a cool radio show
in Australia as well. Anyway, this CD has 4 songs in 23mins of straight up ass kicking
stoner comedy rock and roll. Spud King starts things off, a song about potatoes
and hash! Might remind some people of the heavier side of Clutch. Fingerless
Ben has a more phased out guitar part at times and is a bit more psychedelic
and has a slower doomy section before picking up the pace at the end again.
Like the band’s name suggests the band is into the riff, as there are not a lot
of guitar solos but Casey sneaks in a few. Riff Stew is next short but monster
track. Ride the Pony ends this EP and it starts off with a bass line before a
spacey guitar slowly comes in as Grondo and Cozza lay down the groove. Just at
a minute the main riff kicks in hard. The song is sung a bit in the way early
Monster Magnet is sung. Long rocking track at 8mins. This is a really cool EP
and if dig Clutch, Monster Magnet, WO fat, then check these guys out….
