Chubby Thunderous Bad Kush Masters

This London stoner-doom three-piece (which includes former <a href="spotify:artist:33XDMjTW9arYdi0rkCipoR" data-name="Dopefight">Dopefight</a> frontman Owen Carty) have been turning heads on the UK’s burgeoning underground scene not least because of their combination of tie-dye and corpsepaint, but with a staggeringly heavy live show that has everyone who sees them agreeing that they’re about to become huge. Probably.

Their debut EP “Earth Hog” fused sludgy, blues riffs with stoner rock overtones and was recorded and produced by Sam Thredder of <a href="spotify:artist:4AyqbhyAqoBFWX4zwehGGN" data-name="Slabdragger">Slabdragger</a>. They followed this with the Split EP &quot;Special&quot; with <a href="spotify:artist:4FHdfJFqFMFNrrE7Pzzbtg" data-name="Ten Foot Wizard">Ten Foot Wizard</a> in 2017.

The band’s tongue-in-cheek approach belies their dedication to all things heavy and riff-shaped. A jaw-droppingly powerful live band, Bad Kush have already completed two European tours with <a href="spotify:artist:1qPFzP54oMjiPXpmneoIwF" data-name="Bongzilla">Bongzilla</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4zwLxPj8Rz2X2QV12DnHnk" data-name="Boss Keloid">Boss Keloid</a> and Ten Foot Wizard, headlined the Black Heart on the final day of Desertfest London 2017 playing alongside such legends as Sleep, <a href="spotify:artist:7gVqaPZ2w74Hm86VMrgq9h" data-name="Slo Burn">Slo Burn</a> and Turbonegro and repeated circuits of the UK’s underground scene since their inception in late 2014. Having supported the likes of Slabdragger, Dopethrone and Honky, audience members have picked up on the band’s vibe and now blow bubbles in appreciation of the band’s heaviest riffs.
