The Asound, Jakethehawk, Crystal Spiders

THE ASOUND: Thick riffed heavy stoner grooves with a heaping helping of sludge and a little punk thrown in for spice. This Asheville band's version of doom won't put you to sleep or lull you into a stupor. Be prepared for stone cold solos and some sharp hooks to keep you on the line.JAKETHEHAWK: Pittsburgh's Jakethehawk plays a soulful kind of stoner rock fronted by pure and plaintive vocals. Thickly layered and slightly psychedelic, Jakethehawk is swooping down on Raleigh to envelope you in some colossal riffsCRYSTAL SPIDERS: After their stunning debut at Slim's 02/07, we couldn't wait to bring them back. With a sound that evokes the protometal and psychedelic of the seventies, this Raleigh band is a fabulous addition to the doom scene. Come early and stay late
