Shinedown is a famous American hard rock band from Florida. From the very beginning it had 4 members and was formed in 2001. The band has released three albums. The band is perfect at mixing numerous music styles and producing their own music with wild sound of guitar and cutting-edge metallic mayhem. This music is serious and hard and it has nothing in common with modern so-called pop rock!

But I love them the most for their incredible, fire-like, energetic performances. These guys love what they are doing and their fans feel it. The atmosphere on their concerts is so incredibly happy and easy. Sometimes it seems to me that it is not a concert but a play of my favorite football team and they are winning.

The concert will take place in a couple of weeks and meanwhile we can enjoy hot shinedown photos from the previous events and just from everyday life.

Clutch is a widely disputed band. Most consider it to be the main stoner rock band, other think it is not stoner at all, but most agree – they are great. They have everything a stoner band needs, groovy zeppelin influenced riffs, great drum-bass combo and vocals reminiscent of deserts, muscle cars and good old Tennessee whiskey.

Started with hardcore they later switched to stoner rock influenced by funk and southern rock and of course the mighty Sabbath and zeppelin. It is hard to decide what album is their best still I think their 2004 work ‘Blast Tyrant’ is their best work so far. It is exactly the best thing between the rude old hardcore influenced Clutch and the post 2004 more progressive clutch, which of course lost some of the groove to complexity.

Starting with the bass hook of Prophets Of Doom they start a desert ride of one of the best stoner rock plates ever made. The Mob Goes Wild is way too fast for stoner rock but it is the main ‘never to be top ten’ mainstream hit of this plate. The album is spectacular, till the last note of the ending English Pounds instrumental (very similar to some stuff Led Zeppelin).
