Brant Bjork is a founding pioneer of the Stoner Rock / Desert Rock music scenes.
Brant Bjork has spent over a quarter-century at the epicenter of underground rock & roll. A founding member and composer of the legendary desert band Kyuss, as well as propelling the seminal fuzz of fellow Stoner rockers Fu Manchu from 1994-2000. Over the last 30 years Brant Bjork has embarked on his solo career as a singer, guitarist, composer and bandleader, founding his own record label and more, his history is a winding narrative of relentless, unflinching creativity.
In 2024 the Brant Bjork Trio featuring old friend and influential desert rock pioneer Mario Lalli (Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson, Desert Sessions) on bass guitar and Brant Bjork band alumni Ryan Güt on drums.
The band will release a breakout full length LP on Brant Bjork’s newly relaunched DUNA RECORDS distributed by COBRASIDE DISTRIBUTION (USA).
The new release titled “Once upon a time in the desert” is the result of a long collaborative friendship between Bjork, Lalli and Güt. The power trio recording the tracks at Donner & Blitzen studios in Southern California with another 20 plus year collaborator Mathias Shneeberger.
Mathias has recorded and engineered many of the classic desert rock albums over the years.
The music this band creates together is a heavy fluid groove, organic, honest desert rock & roll. The very elements of the genre were created by these veteran independent musicians. This record expresses the principles of those styles.
