Hotel Wrecking City Traders are a duo who have been gigging around since 2006. Their most recent album Black Yolk contains a heady mix of stoner rock, metal and blissed out psychedelia which is constantly on the move. Consisting of just one drumkit (played by Ben) and one guitar(played by Toby) they turn the classic two guitars, bass, vocals and drums band model on its head. On listening to their album one would not suspect that such a lush and heavy sound could be produced with these two instruments alone.
With no need for vocals, these two musicians bounce off each other and fill all the gaps around a strong backbone with heavy riffs and competant soloing. Despite all that is going on in these songs they re-create the sound live in a seemingly effortless fashion. If you haven't seen these guys live yet you should definately check them out!
Their brightly packaged digipack is available from their myspace for $20 including postage. Their previous self titled EP is also available from their myspace. You can buy both using the handy paypal facility.
