 Floating Goat
"If you think that San Francisco's stoner story starts and ends with High on Fire, prepare to be blown away by Floating Goat. Drawing on the best of Pentagram, Sabbath, C.O.C., and a host of others, the outfit's surging, sinuous riffs are infectiously heavy. Vocalist Chris Corona's soulful singing and dive-bombing hammer-ons soar above the fray, while bassist Ian Petitpren and drummer Aaron Barrett comprise the rest of an extremely powerful trio." - SF Bay Guardian

 Mick Turner (Dirty Three)
"While most widely recognized for his work with the Dirty Three, Turner’s paired-down, more pensive solo material bares an inevitable stylistic similarity and is every bit as stirring. An Aussie wunderkind of meditative guitar poetry." - Crawdaddy

 Valet
"Valet's 'Naked Acid' (Kranky) is a drone album, but an incredibly brave one in which emotions are laid bare and a surprising range of musical textures flow from a minimalist sonic palette. Take three tracks in their chronological order: "Drum Movie"'s milky growl sounds fit for a David Lynch movie. "Keehar"'s reverb-licked guitar plays like celestial rock. "Fuck It"'s scraping drawl evokes Patti Smith played at half-speed or a duskier Mazzy Star.
Though Valet springs from the same Portland, Ore., DIY scene as White Rainbow, guiding light Honey Owens' musical family tree includes Austin, Texas' Jana Hunter, Finland's Lau Nau, and fellow Portlander Grouper.
All these women are pushing the female singer-songwriter format into new atmospheric, painterly territory, taking advantage of loop pedals and thick layers of reverb to collapse the distance between performance and production." - Max Goldberg, SF Bay Guardian

 Kawabata Makoto (Acid Mothers Temple)
"Music, for me, is neither something that I create, nor a form of self-expression. All kinds of sounds exist everywhere around us, and my performances solely consist of picking up these sounds, like a radio tuner, and playing them so that people can hear them. However, maybe because my reception is somewhat off, I am unable to perfectly reproduce these sounds. That is why I spend my days rehearsing.
Where do these sounds come from? Who is sending them out? That is not something for me to know, and neither is there any way that I could find out. I simply believe that they come from the 'cosmos'." - Kawabata

 Numinous Eye
Improvisational psych-cosmic-noise-rock project centered around guitarist Mason Jones (ex-SubArachnoid Space). Created to provide an outlet allowing participation of collaborators while staying in a certain field of guitar-oriented psych-noise-freeform-rock sound. Usually Numinous Eye remains a guitar-drum duo. (bio)

 Pidgeon
"It would be difficult to cite one particular act as a descriptive metaphore for our sound, but we agree that a Pixies-Motorhead-Cardigans combo comes as close as any." (autobiography)
"...a patchwork of introspection and demolition...the guitars were bearing down on glissandi that heaved like tsunamis." - Jon Pareles, NY Times

 RTX (featuring Jennifer from Royal Trux)
"A long time ago, in a rock ‘n’ roll land not so far away, there was a band called Royal Trux. Coming off of The Pussy Galore trail of trash rock blues destruction, Neil Hagerty joined forces with Jennifer Herrema to spread the gospel of drugged out rock blues. Then the split happened, in music and love, almost as one. Jennifer took off on her own path, creating her own vision of what was and changing it into RTX. The softness of the vowels are gone, the hardness of the consonants remain, but it’s almost the opposite within the music itself. Western Xterminator is enchanting and rough, spaced out and heavy, gritty, rocked-out, and standing between the gutter and the stars. It’s classic rock attitude with snarls and sneers and strutting. These are hair-shaking, hip-swaying, tough grooves tied to the past and stretching out into the future. There are nods to both hair bands and prog rockers and some touches of heavy psych rock for those who want it." - The Red Alert

 Grayceon
"Billing Grayceon as 'Jackie Gratz from Amber Asylum's metal band' is a bit or a misnomer. The Guitar/drum/cello instrumentation driving this band falls outside metal's confines..." - Terrorizer
