about

Continuing to build on Mountain Rag's heavy blues style, Torrid Flood (the first track off of Ruther Be Dead) showcases a deft homage to hill country blues accompanied by thick, fuzzy undertones.

lyrics

Sitting here crying, knee deep in waste
Flood water bound to bring me to hell with my lead weights
Yes I'm done for, won't have a dime
I've returned to this land one too many times

But I got myself wading on down to the drugstore
And I've forgotten my damn woman smoking outside
Guess she's dead now

God damn I'm lonely, sat here for days
Passing by heaven, let me in the gate
Me and an old man, he lost his wife
Left his children at the church to go get high

But I got myself wading on down to the drugstore
And I've forgotten my damn woman smoking outside
Guess she's dead now

I've been a joker, I've been a fool
Thinking this lifetime would be for you
Please don't drag me in mud and sin
My dear I'll show ya, I just can't win
No I can't win darlin, no I can't win

Well I'm driving that train, and I'm goin for miles
Well I'm on the wrong way, I'm heading down to die
I'm heading down to die

Michael Presho (guitar), Nick Dettmer (drums), and Ryan Nelson (vocals/bass) met with music in mind, soon recording songs that begin to unearth the dark mythology of the American West. ... more

Stonekind - EP
by Stonekind

supported by 4 fans who also own “Torrid Flood”

So, this is my edited review. I recommend you buy this EP, if for no other reason, than BLACK MOLASSES. It starts softly with a clear near perfect vocal. Then builds into stoner rock perfection. The jam- guitar, drums & bass are just badass. Awesome. And the rest of the disc is freaking great in its own right. LOVE this ep. 🤘🤘🤘 Steve
