Artic releases new album

ARCTIC is a Californian power trio steeped in the roots of early 70’s blues/psych, ala Blue Cheer and Band of Gypsies, while drawing elements of modern heavy, reminiscent of early Sleep. Heavy, sludgy, stoner psych played with a slow, driving energy.

The band features 3 pro skaters, Justin 'Figgy' Figueroa on guitar, Frecks on drums and Don 'Nuge' Nguyen on bass. S/T is their first release, but they've already been on several tours, tied in with their skating, which has brought them to Europe and South Africa as part of Thrasher’s Skate Rock Tour. Figgy also plays guitar in Harsh Toke (Tee Pee Records)

The album features incredible cover art from Arik Roper, the man behind the artwork for Sleep’s Dopesmoker, The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull by Earth, plus others for High on Fire, Weedeater, and many more.
