Puget Sound-based Mos Generator is a workhorse of a stoner rock band. They've put out a steady stream of material over the past decade. When the band started, they were ahead of the curve--playing a bluesy, Black Sabbath-informed take on heavy metal. Since their early days, that formula has been followed by bands all over the country, from Black Mountain to The Black Keys. But even today, Mos Generator manage to stand out in a crowded marketplace by eschewing the sludgy brutality that metal bands from the South and East Coast have produced, and instead joining a West Coast school of thought--crafting punky, hard-rock riffs behind soulful-yet-gruff vocals.
