Spirit Mother with High Desert Queen and Fox 45

Spirit Mother, a heavy rock band from Long Beach, CA, is known for their folk-informed, atmospheric sound with haunting vocals. Founders Armand Lance (vocals/bass) and SJ (violin) were later joined by Sean McCormick (guitar) and Landon Cisneros (drums). Praised for their debut album "Cadets," they signed with Heavy Psych Sounds Records and toured Europe in 2023, performing at Metal Days, PALP, and Sonic Blast festivals. Their style, likened to "languid grunge blasted into outer space," has earned them a growing fanbase worldwide.

High Desert Queen, born in Austin, Texas, blend heavy rock with influences like Kyuss and Alice In Chains, creating the signature "Texas Desert Rock" sound inspired by open-road journeys.
