I first discovered Karma To Burn from the long defunct stoner rock dot com website. The site had a mp3 jukebox for all the bands they were selling for their All That’s Heavy distribution store. Every record they sold had a sample song you could listen to, to check out new bands and records. I discovered so many bands from...
Exactly one year ago, Greenville, South Carolina/ Richmond, Virginia heavy rockers, Throttlerod unearthed these two songs from the Hell And High Water demos. These songs were recorded in 2002 at Glass Hand Studios before the official recording of Hell And High Water. The tracks sat forgotten for over twenty years until they were recovered in late 2022. The band found...
When my son was born in 2008, I always had rock music playing in his presence (well, almost always). Every time he was in my truck, there was music playing. The music he was exposed to the most was stoner rock, without question. The bands I had playing in my truck when he was four or five years old were:...
I started preparing for the Jam Yeti Music Blog several months ago. I was writing a bunch of reviews trying to build content for the site before I actually launched it. A lot of the band information was coming from several record labels’ BandCamp pages. The main labels I follow are: Ripple Music, Heavy Psych Sounds, Blues Funeral Recordings, Small...

I began writing album reviews a few months earlier in June but I had to figure out how to create this blog and format it to be user friendly. My intention is to make it easy to navigate from a mobile phone and set up menus and a...

Lowrider just made their first video ever for the single, “And The Horse You Rode In...
Starting tomorrow night, I’ll be attending three rock shows in four days! Thursday night at Sonia’s in Cambridge, Mass, I will be seeing Boston’s own sludge metal merchants, Leather Lung and Sweden’s psychedelic doom gods, Domkraft. I was supposed to see Leather Lung two years ago at Desert Fest New York. Due to traffic and poor planning, I showed up...
Today is the one year anniversary of the passing of Tom Davies. He was the bassist for stoner rock legends Nebula since 2004. He also played with The Freeks and was a guitar technician for Orange Goblin, if I’m not mistaken. He played on all of Nebula’s recordings since 2006’s Apollo, including 2009’s Heavy Psych, 2019’s Holy Shit, and 2022’s...
After quite some time contemplating on whether I should do this blog or not, I decided to go for it. My life long passion and obsession for heavy rock music has led me to this decision. I will share reviews and insights on the many bands that have inspired, enriched, and have had a profound impact on me. For all...
