CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description "Sasquatch play a take-no-prisoners brand of ultra-heavy rock that draws on fuzzed-out stoner and seventies heavy rock influences. Throughout the album you can expect to be steamrolled with a great stoned rocking vibe that rumbles in your chest and throbs in your brain." - AURAL INNOVATIONS Like its mythological namesake, Sasquatch has stealthily returned from the wilderness to wreak havoc with its own explosive brand of rock `n' roll. This time, the band comes armed with the modestly titled II, which picks up exactly where its 2004 debut left off. II features the same riff rockin', bass-driven, heavy-on-the-heavy rock that you'd expect from the boys--but make no mistake, this ain't no sophomore slump. While II is the natural and logical continuation of its self-titled debut, the album showcases the dynamic band that Sasquatch has become. The sounds are bigger and the songwriting is more refined, yet the group still manages to capture the raw essence that won its moniker. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsGood solid rock 'n' roll Surferofromantica | Singapore | 12/25/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Good stoner rock fun. The first song "Let it in" starts off with some sort of Om-like bass drone, but then it comes in with a Filter-like guitar riff before the band just picks up like Soundgarden or some sort of Blue Cheer/Iron Butterfly combo with a lot of Clutch thrown in. Name checking all of those players means that Sasquatch really do have a great big huge `ol sound (and probably rule as a live act), and most of the songs on II are kickers, even if they are shorter than the usual stoner rock fare and not quite as awe-inspiringly heavy as Acid King or Electric Wizard. But, not being as dark as those bands, they are quite good fun in the Atomic Bitchwax sense of the term, if slightly less blistering. I'm fascinated by the cover, which has a sort of retro Good/Bad/Ugly feel to it, and I was attracted to the generally good reviews the album has gotten. I may be one of the few (only?) people in Singapore to have a copy of this slab of good times. Highlight is "Seven Years to Saturn," which is a dense pile of heavy goop with a stutteringly brilliant solo. "Nikki" and "Catalina" are trippy hippy dippy stuff that wouldn't have been out of place on a Mother Love Bone/Temple of the Dog/Pearl Jam album. "What Have You Done" closes the album, at over seven minutes in length it is a sludgy, grungy rocker worthy of "Louder Than Love"-era Soundgarden. Good stuff guys, keep up the good work."
