"Stoner Hive"

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. A lovely little maritime city and a peaceful rural community. Where one could imagine still leaving the backdoor open when you run out to get some last minute groceries. Home to Denny Doherty, Sarah McLachlan and Peter North. And to Hugonaut; which is actually the only thing one should care about. A hard rocking five-some that has just delivered its debut-album called Hello Destroyed. We hear traces of Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Channel Zero and Prong; which means we are treated to some grade a nineties grunge and metal; interspersed with some downtuned stoner and fuzzed out rock. Huge vocals and impressive melodies, tons of gigantic riffs, dueling guitars and colossal drums. Big, that’s the main adjective here. Everything, from rhythms to tones and sound has gone the way of largeness without going over the top. The vocal driven songs grapple their way into your brain with their hooks and become a definite fixture. Innovating? Not really. Tasty? Absofuckinglutely! - stonerhive.blogspot.ca


"EAR MUNCHIES"

ugonaut are a band from Halifax, Canada and they play progressive stoned-out fuzz metal. With vocals that have a kind-of Maynard Keenan meets Sebastian Bach vibe, with an overdubbed harmony effect that creates a cool ambiance, and puts their debut album "Hello Destroyed" over the top of alot of stuff coming out recently in the genre.

Taking the 70's and 80's and mashing it up with some new riff ideas and sonic interpretations of down-tuned blues riffs create the backbone of Hugonaut. Yeah I said riffs, there's tons of em on "Hello Destroyed", some tasty dueling guitar harmony lines as well. Just some ass kicking rock n' roll to set your summer on fire. A perfect title for this debut, "Hello" here we are... get "Destroyed". Mission accomplished.

Bio

HUGONAUT is a hard rock groove titan playing out of Halifax, Nova Scotia for the past two years. Blowing the doors off venues around the Halifax area from the North End to the downtown clubs, 2012 will see the release their debut album Hello Destroyed, where a chorus of rock vocals, heavy metal guitars and prog sojourns combine to overpower listeners with an unstoppable wall of sound.

A love of heavy music brought the band together, with everyone growing up on the likes of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Kyuss. Their sound is grounded in the sludge of blues infused guitar riffs, accompanied by strings of poetic lyrics pulling listeners kicking and screaming on a psychological journey, all backed by a pounding freight train of synchronized rhythm on bass and drums. HUGONAUT will punch your eardrums in....but in a good way.
