Stoner rock!!!! Yes, here we have that psychodelic style of hard rock in its purest form. The riffs are catchy and witha lot of hooks and they are hypnotic at the same time. In fact the music here is pure rock and roll with a lot of seventies feeling on it (even in the sound, that is really muddy as it was in that time). There are certain influences of bands like Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age but Skywise has its own identity and in the future I think this guys will have a great sound as they deserve (even if it does not sound so stoner to have a great sound). Fans of stoner rock check this one !!!! Favorite tracks: "Mountains of the moon", "My Rotten Kingdom" and "Earth 2012" Contact: www.kickagency.3000.it
