Badass heavy psych outta Austin. Originally a bass-drum-vocal three-piece, Sweat Lodge added a guitarist and signed to Ripple for their forthcoming full-length debut, Talismana. It promises stoned Southern grooves in the vein of Fu Manchu and SST-era Saint Vitus, with hints of Mountain’s heavy blues and the barroom howl of ZZ Top. The frontman has a powerful, clean voice and an impressive command of melody. Although relatively unknown outside of their home scene, like Elder, Sweat Lodge have the potential to break out in 2015 and just got a major bump in exposure from an appearance on Last Call with Carson Daly last night.
