LAZERWOLFS
Get Mad
Independent Release
High in the mountains of Montana is a trio so dense, so heavy and so melodic that even the grizzly bears are scared. Hailed as landmark in the sub-gernre of Heavy Stoner Rock, Chris LaTray (bass, vocals), Bubba Warne (drums) and Jimmy Rolle (guitar, vocals) move effortlessly through thunder-sludge to intoxicating groves on their debut thriller. Originally formed 15 years ago by hometown buddies LaTray and Warne, the band morphed through several different incarnations before finding it’s voice in the axe-work of Rolle. Though 10 years their younger, Rolle’s guitar springs to life the relentless chug of “Bonfire,” the Fu Manchu-like “Big Rig” and the cow-bell friendly “FOTC.” Even the extended “Elemental” and the mellow “Dissent” stand firmly behind the guitarist capable hammering. The seven songs that grace “Get Mad” just aren’t enough to uncover all these boys are capable of. Recently the crew were spotted at a local watering hole on Portland’s southeast side and converted an assortment of fans with their demon dance during “Ride” and the wildly progressive and stretched out jam “ORT.” Peeling the paint off the ceiling is the trademark of these Montana Mountain men. They come, they play and they deliver high energy, high octane, high volume rock and roll in it purest form.
