Salem's Bend

Salem’s Bend is a Los Angeles-based heavy rock trio with musical influences that run the gamut from '70s classic rockers to modern heavy-hitters in the desert, doom, psych and stoner rock scenes. Having cut their teeth in different bands around LA for several years, they self-released their debut album on Bandcamp in the tail-end of December 2015. The album garnered some early praise at heavy music blogs, with one reviewer commenting, "You want dynamics? Salem’s Bend is practically a liquid. 'Dynamics' is just a buzz word until it’s wielded by these sprightly upstarts." The album caught the ear of Ripple Music, who signed them and re-released their debut record worldwide in October 2016.

Salem's Bend has been tearing up the local scene since their inaugural West Coast tour in 2016 and hasn't slowed down yet. They've shredded the road for over 40,000 miles with tours and festivals around the US every year, including a sold-out SXSW showcase, Desertfest London 2019 + European tour, Psycho Las Vegas 2022, RippleFest Texas 2022, and more. Their sophomore album was released by Ripple Music in 2019 to solid praise, with Metal Injection saying "Hardened by countless shows across the west coast, Supercluster is tighter and more explosive than anything the band has done before," selling out before the year was done. 2023 is shaping up with new music, festivals, and more!
