Sasquatch * House of Broken Promises * Blank Stare

Sasquatch is a rock band from Los Angeles, CA. They tend to sip on influences from 70's metal, rock, and psychedelia. Their songwriting approach is clear-cut; keep the focus on the hook.

The band was born in Philadelphia in 2000 and moved to Los Angeles in 2001 after Keith Gibbs (guitar, vox) joined up with Detroit natives Rick Ferrante (drums) and Clayton Charles (bass). Upon Clayton’s departure in 2007, the guys recruited Chicagoan Jason Casanova (Behold! The Monolith, Tummler) to join the fold. We arrive at 2017 and Dr. Craig Riggs (Roadsaw, Kind, Antler) is now shellacking the kit when he's not brewing coffee or watching the Red Sox.

The band’s music has been featured on a variety of movies, television shows, and video games including the reissue of Clerks, FX’s original hit series Sons of Anarchy, A&E's Dog The Bounty Hunter, Jersey Girl, CW’s The Supernatural, and MTV’s Viva La Bam, Bam’s Unholy Union, and Rob and Big, NHL 2005, American Chopper, and Monster Garage.

After shaking some walls with not one, but two, closely packed studio albums (the self-titled debut and "II") in 2004 and ’06, the power trio went subterranean until 2010 before resurfacing with a new lineup and propulsive third opus, "III", followed up by the straight-ahead rocker, "IV", in 2013.

The band’s latest album, Maneuvers, was released on June 20th, 2017 and features the work of new basher, Craig Riggs, behind the kit. This is the band's most concise work to-date. Extended jams were stripped down to the meat and potatoes. Short and sweet is the path looking forward. Andrew Schneider (NYC) returns behind the boards this round. You may recognize the name as he also provided the mixes on "II". What fans hear is arguably the gents most mature and inspired song-set released, chunked with both heartwarmingly familiar moments – but all of it heavy on the heavy, as they say…always. Unprecedented attention was also devoted to spinning new yarns out of those evergreen rock and roll stories about love lost, hate found, relationships built and lives trashed, homes wrecked, etc.

Look for the band to be gearing up for select US dates in the fall and its fifth European tour in early 2018. All’s fair in Love and Doom

House of Broken Promises
HOUSE OF BROKEN PROMISES is an Indio, CA based desert-stoner rock/metal band
consisiting of guitarist Arthur Seay (Unida, ApeSh!t), bassist/vocalist Joe Mora (HDR, Street
Drugs DTLA, The Adicts) and drummer Mike Cancino (Unida, Lynch Mob). Formed from the
ashes of UNIDA (which also featured John Garcia of KYUSS fame), HOUSE OF BROKEN
PROMISES is a pure shot of classic hard rock, stoner rock and metal. With their Small Stone
Records debut "Using the Useless" this trio lead the charge in a more refined stoner metal
approach than the standard stoner rock sound of similar scene bands. Now recently
signed to Eternal Sound Records, The world awaits their second release “The New Dystopia”.
HOUSE OF BROKEN PROMISES incorporates bombastic drum beats with guttural vocals and
tuned-down guitars. Also composing songs dealing with social instability, political
corruption, the dangers of drug abuse and apocalyptic prophecies. Now with two tours of
Europe under their belt, that contained performances at HellFest 2014 and DesertFest Berlin
2013 and DesertFest London 2013, they our about to embark on their third starting with
DesertFest Athens 2016 Let it be known that HOUSE OF BROKEN PROMISES is the definition of
a hard rock power trio.
