Slo Burn is an Americanstoner rock band that was primarily active in 1996 and 1997. The band was formed byJohn Garcia of the influential stoner rock bandKyuss, which had split up some months previously. Garcia was joined by Chris Hale on guitar, Damon Garrison on bass, and Brady Houghton on drums.[2]
In 1996, the band distributed a five-song demo, and in April 1997 released anEP entitledAmusing the Amazing through the record label Malicious Vinyl. According to interviews, Garcia claimed that the band also intended to record a full-length album. Slo Burn playedOzzfest in 1997, before splitting in 1998. Garcia subsequently joined the equally short-lived bandUnida, before becoming the vocalist withHermano, which have since recorded three studio albums.
In 2017, Slo Burn reunited and played shows at several European festivals including Desertfest London and Freak Valley. They made a single appearance in the U.S. at Psycho Las Vegas 2017.
Slo Burn has a sound very similar to that of latter-day Kyuss, which can be attributed to Garcia's singing style and the production work ofChris Goss. However, the music is more direct and less layered and complex.AllMusic describes their style as "simple structures formed out of monolithic rhythm guitars" with "guitar solos that come and go and vibrate weirdly on the way".
