Following a solid year of blunt rolling and live perversions, glassy-eyed, California smoke goliaths, CONNOISSEUR, will unleash the weedian fruits of their Stoner Justice offering this June via Tankcrimes Records.
Initially released in EP form last year and captured by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios, Oakland (Annihilation Time, Iron Lung, Vhöl, Brainoil), Stoner Justice redux is remastered by Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound Mastering (Abscess, Toxic Holocaust, Voetsek etc.) and has been expanded to fourteen blunted ragers, including a live set professionally recorded at the Tankcrimes Takeover on February 13th, 2015 (mixed and mastered by the same team) and includes a mind-bending cover art collaboration by Skinner (Mastodon) and Hal Rotter (Atriarch, Cough, Eyehategod, Skeletonwitch etc.). Those who puff to the gutter-crusted resonance of Plutocracy, Spazz, Crossed Out, Dystopia, and Earth Crisis, listen up.
In celebration of 4/20, the holiest of cannabis holy days, today Cvlt Nation offers up a taste of THC-infused cranium-crusher, “New Amsterdam,” for public inhalation. Elaborates the band: “While marijuana laws progress around the country, in other parts it’s still used as an excuse to jail people and to keep the for profit prison system in place. ‘New Amsterdam’ is about tearing this corrupt system down and rebuilding a new Utopia where everyone is free to smoke and live as they please. Perfect for a day where people are celebrating weed culture all around the world. ”
Puff, puff, pass at THIS LOCATION.
And if you need another toke break, peep the band’s new lyric video for “Orc Summer,” now playing at Revolver at THIS LOCATON.
CONNOISSEUR will bring their bong-blasting psalms to stages throughout the US for an epic run of live takeovers through Spring and Summer. Following last month’s So Stoned In SoCal Weekend live extravaganza, CONNOISSEUR will grind their nugs later this week alongside with San Jose powerviolence unit Deadpressure for a trio of shows in Sacramento, Santa Cruz and Oakland before kicking off the lengthy …And Stoner Justice For All Summer Tour that will smoke out over four dozen cities nationally from May 22nd through July 11th.

Likening themselves to Earth Crisis if they “smoked weed and listened to Spazz,” the Smokeland, California-based trio, CONNOISSEUR, deafens the weak with an upbeat/d-beat barrage of West Bay powerviolence packed with resin-coated sludgedowns and chronically brutal, comically cheeba-charged vocal onslaughts that consume the listener in a violently stoned, inescapable haze.
Stoner Justice will see release on CD, LP (on rad splatter vinyl) and digitally via Tankcrimes on June 9th, 2015. For preorder bundles scroll on over to THIS LOCATION.
