Funeral Horse (Houston, TX)
https://www.facebook.com/FuneralHorse/

“If judged on the merit of riffs alone, Texan tarnation masters Funeral Horse would be a holy grail of hard-rock. The constant shifts from road-rage solos to dusty blues riffs to pavement cracking noise-rock/hardcore to vintage 70s hard rock backed by a walloping rhythm section will keep you guessing and ducking for cover as to which direction the bombardment is coming from next. With band members lovingly named Paul Bearer (vocals/guitars) and Jason Andy Argonauts (bass), the entire project has the recipe for sheer global conquest via tongue-in-cheek humor laced into a serious, non-nonsense rock foundation.” Jay S. - Teeth of the Divine.

“Anyone who wants more from their stoner rock than chewed repetitions of a sound we heard countless times before can advantageously turn to the upcoming album from Funeral Horse. Where many others in the constant flow of riff-based rock band for a life in the absence of their own creative initiatives, these Houston-based men refreshingly disrespectful of genre boundaries and preconceptions about how it "should" sound.” Maria van der Lee - Slave State Magazine (Sweden)
"Gifts of Opium and Myrrh" brings that end sooner than I imagine many listeners will want, as the album feels like just a quick tour of the wild animals and wide vistas available to be put on display by the band at just a handful of minutes past half an hour. Of course, that will keep those ears eager for the next release, and busy soaking up the fuzz and grit from this one in the mean-time, so it's hard to feel too put-off by the brevity. A twisting feedback stretch to bridge the way (laid to rest with a burst of instrumentation that works best as a surprise) helps ease the journey's end, leaving first-timers to sit back and reflect on what an unusual one it was. Gabriel - The Burning Beard

“The scintillating doom character hearty Divinity For The Wicked is successfully ornate dynamically stoner elements and tough heavy rock nuggets, which combined with weak punk and post-hardcore irregularities of emerging Funeral Horse gives us an extremely heavy sound that proto metal vagrancy and macho in every note. In short, we are dealing with both rich and balanced and robust heavy sound, which I suppose that will satisfy classic doom sound lovers and lovers of modern stoner music, since the explosive Divinity For The Wicked of Funeral Horse standing on the verge heavy rock future and past. Beautiful.” Lyk - Phantasmagoria (Greece)

Cake Rangers (Houston, TX)
https://www.facebook.com/cakerangers
A modern day carpetbagger wandered south and discovered that three Texans, like him, were receiving messages from Kim Il-sung's ghost calling for the formation of a noisey, sludgy, stoner rock band in Houston. Join us.

"I began receiving messages from Kim Il-sung at some point during the late 90s. He told me that I no longer needed to worry about making good music because, with his dying breath, he had set forth a series of events that would conclude with the formation of Cake Rangers. The Eternal Leader informed me that they would rock so hard that the global demand for rocking would be satisfied by them alone. That's why most of the music I have released since then has kinda sucked."-Billy Corgan

"Grumble? Grumble grumble grumble. Grumble grumble grumble GRUMBLE GRUMBLE CAKE RANGERS RULE!!!!!!!"-Phil Anselmo

"Not as good as the rumored concept album that will consist of Thom Yorke's farts and the sounds Stephen Malkmus' washing machine makes when its set to full."-Pitchfork Media

"Cake Rangers? Never heard of them, they sound like a gay dance troupe. And who the hell are you? How did you get in my house?"-Willie Nelson
