Release notes

THE STONEMEN hail from Cap Pele NB, a small Acadian town in eastern Canada. They were the fuzziest and scuzziest group to emanate from this region during the 1960s and released this lone 7″ which now fetches triple digits on Discogs. This is the first reissue of the 7″ and has been blessed with the permission of one FERNAND LEBLANC. The pressing includes restored audio and liner notes by MARK GAUDET. All art sourced from archival materials. A real ripper.

” This is heavy, heady stuff, the way unearthed garage should be. What really stands out on these tracks from this woefully obscure Canadian quartet is what a downer they are. This is heavy not just for its fuzz or its four-on-the-floor stomp, but also for its doom-laden atmosphere. I love an unholy racket, and this satisfies that while also bringing the melody. Not as bluesy as the GROUNDHOGS and more straightforward than the MONKS, this carves its own space in history of the bummer side of stonerdom. Crucial listening. ”
