Classic Stoner Rock

Genre: classic rock, riff rock, stoner rock

A fan says: On this EP Yellabird have decided to generally inject a little more muscle into their guitars, creating a heavier, more riff-driven style, still with the southern rock twang that adds character! I'd personally prefer to hear gruffer, edgier vocals as well, though.
