Arctic

Arctic

Arctic is a California power trio steeped in the roots of early 70 s blues/psych, ala Blue Cheer and Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, while drawing elements of modern heavy, reminiscent of early Sleep. Heavy, sludgy, stoner psych played with a slow, driving energy. The band features 3 pro skaters, Figgy on guitar, Frecks on drums and Nuge on bass. ''Artic'' is their first release but they have already been on several tours, tied in with their skating, which has brought them to Europe and South Africa as part of Thrasher's Skate Rock Tour. Figgy also plays guitar in Harsh Toke (Tee Pee Records) The album features incredible cover art from Arik Roper, the man behind Sleep's ''Dopesmoker,'' High on Fire, and many more.
