This EP has been a hell of a long time coming, which I suppose they can be forgiven for as they have been responsible for creating some of the best concerts seen in London over recent years under the well established name ‘Desertscene’.

I think it must have been nearly 2 years ago that this band changed their name from ‘Ebbs’ to what we now know as the mighty ‘STTEEAAKK’!!! yet it was in the Ebbs era I first remember seeing these lot, and I clearly recall a person who I was watching them with describe them as just a Kyuss tribute band. But this was during a time that there was no way of getting a fix of this type of band as the now reformed Kyuss Lives! was a long way off. But who cares anyway, these guys are a hell of a lot of fun and most importantly they allow for big sing-along choruses which is exactly what you need when having a few beers with your mates (hence the reason I have had them play on 2 occasions at WPC nights in the past).

The EP perfectly captures the live experience with the overdriven guitars and stomping rhythms making this collection of songs a set that will not be easily forgotten, and I hear talk from the band already of preparing to record a full length album in the not so distant future. So hopefully word will spread of these guys quickly which will speed up the momentum and get more material out quickly (I sound like an impatient 5 year old demanding more more more).

Anyone who was at the Record release party this weekend at the Unicorn would have already been treated to a new track which if my hazy booze soaked memory serves me correctly was entitled ‘Whiskey Mule’……. the most important thing is that these guys keep busy as there is an very expectant audience that want to hear more but will hopefully not have to wait quite so long!

You can listen to these songs and pay what you want for them at their Bandcamp page right now.
