Cargo Records - Catalog

Fast forward to the present day, after painstaking remastering "Busse Woods" returns from the land of cut-outs and price gouging on Ebay sounding louder, fatter and better than it ever has before complete with updated artwork and two unreleased tracks on there new home here at Small Stone. This, however, is only the beginning. Lori, Joey and new bassist Guy Pinhas (the Obsessed) are currently finishing up work on their first new full length album in several years with legendary SF engineer Billy Anderson and from what we've heard of the rough mixes the albums is gonna be

Acid King is Lori S., Joey Osbourne, and Guy Pinhas. If you have not had the chance to be blown away by their immense stage presence, their gut wrenching, mind numbing, explosive live sets then chances are you wouldn't notice them walking along side you on your morning trek to work. Heck, you probably wouldn't even noticing them milling around the bar before their set, and that'd be a shame because Acid King is the definition of stoner rock. Not the stoner rock that MTV and Rolling Stone were hyping as the next big thing a few years back. This is bone rattling, ultra low

Born under a bad sign in the waning months of 2002, Antler is the newest addition to the Small Stone stable. Steeped in classic rock heritage, their rustic eloquence is gleaned from oily rags and dented chrome; from empty bottles and dingy motel rooms. Their six-man roster and blue-collar soul are throwbacks to the nights when Skynyrd and the Allmans took over the Fillmore 'cause they needed the legroom, when Fogerty's giants still did cartwheels, and a killing moon hung low in the horizon. The members of Antler possess both the road-warrior pedigree (3/4 of the mighty

Notorious road queens and van-vagabonds, BOTTOM has played over 1000 shows state side since 1999, invaded Europe in 2002, and spent the summer of 2001 cranking out a daily double-header with a crushing 70 shows in 40 odd days: tearing up the Vans' WARPed Tour by day and headlining a club tour after dark. BOTTOM's explosive live show has devoured venues everywhere from Vancouver to Croatia, sharing stages with hundreds of rock-outfits including: AFI, Backyard Babies, MonsterMagnet, High on Fire, Nebula and the Rollins Band. Emerging from a dreamscape of feedback six feet

Based in Reykjavik the men of Brain Police are Icelandic citizens but with the souls of American rock gods. Fueled by a desire to play dirty, kick ass rock and roll BP (as fans call them) rose like a comet in the night from relative obscurity in their home country to become one of Iceland biggest rock acts. It's hard to find higher praise about Brain Police than this quote from fellow Icelandic musician Jónsi (SigurRós) "Brain Police is definitely one of Iceland's greatest bands - one of my favourite. The music is driven by magnificent force and great personal charisma."

New York City's The Brought Low come on like a boogie rock 'Wild Bunch,'clothes sullied with the dirt of a thousand dive bars, dead-eyed from the after show parties and all night drives, as turbulent and unassailable as the city that birthed them. They're journeymen musicians who walk with the gait of the blues, rock and country pioneers who preceded them and whose influence they wear on their tattered sleeves. Their music is rooted in the vintage hard rock of The Stones, Who and Humble Pie, tempered with the cadences of guys with names like Sonny Boy and Hank, and

DIXIE WITCH RELEASED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM "Into The Sun" in 2001. The album was well recieved by fans of the undergound heavy rocck scene. all over the world. They followed up this release with intense touring until 2003 and had the pleasure to share stages with many of the world's finest rock and metal bands. Their brand new album "One Bird Two Stones" was recorded with Jefferson D. Pinkus (ex-BUTTHOLE SURFER, HONKY) and features 10 new gems of heavy ass southern rock that are more musically diverse than their previous recordings, which reflects the bands growth in both

When the road is the only home you know a band has no choice but to go from the talented exuberant group of musicians they started out as to a well oiled rawk machine destroying every venue in their path. Such is the case of Austin's Dixie Witch. Born in the fall of 1999, Dixie Witch played their first live show at the legendary (and now extinct) Emo's in Houston, Texas in January of 2000. From that explosive first show sprang a relentless road schedule that criss crossed their homeland. Leveling venue after venue, the band quickly gained a large and loyal Texas following.

It's time crack open a fresh bottle of vodka and tip one back to Sweden's most underappreciated export; Dozer. Better make this one a double because there's plenty to celebrate this time. First and foremost it's Dozer's anniversary. Ten years of touring in shitty bars. Ten years of playing to the most devoted of rock worshipers. Ten years of the most melodic, bone crushing, super heavy rock and roll Europe has ever seen. And if a band making it to ten years in relative obscurity, known only to the hippest and those that just happened to be in the right dive bar at the

A mini album follow up to last years widely lauded debut on Bongload Records sees LA's bludgeoning rockers FIREBALL MINISTRY dish out a slew of Covers and 3 of their own compositions! The Covers are of JUDAS PRIEST, AEROSMITH, BLUE CHEER, THE MISFITS, and Alice Cooper.

4[ENG] With three CD's, well over 600+ shows, including a sold out european club tour this past Winter, FIVE HORSE JOHNSON puts their fourth and strongest recording to date with "The No. 6 Dance". Keeping with their raw acid-blues foundation, FHJ expands their sound even further into the swampy feel of early AEROSMITH, ZZ TOP, THE BLACK CROWES and even a little CAPTAIN BEEFHEART. No, none of that "Yo! G Metal" on this slab (eat your heart out Durst), just straight up American Rock out of the heartland with tons of guitar, groove and grind. The way great records use to be

In 1995 FIVE HORSE JOHNSON was formed in Toledo,Ohio. They play blues based rock the way they heard it in their punk and classic rock infested heads. They found themselves sharing the stage with the likes of BIG JACK JOHNSON and WAR after just two weeks of being a band. "The Last Men On Earth" is their 5th album and it will convert the masses out of todays 60's garage fashion show into the early 70's arena where it so rightfully belongs... CRY RAIN CHERRY RED SOUL DIGGER THREE AT A TIME BLOOD DON'T PAY LOVE 2 LOSE SWEETWATER B.C. APPROVED SAWHILL YER MOUNTAIN

Over the past decade, Five Horse Johnson has happily and thankfully proven the doubters wrong. Never apers, over the course of 6 albums, Five Horse Johnson has honed out a niche all their own, combining their love and respect for the Blues, Classic Rock and other, less dog-eared influences of their youth to become one of the most loved and respected bands in the Stoner Rock community. Always a right freight train live, the band has spent a lot of time on the road with the likes of Clutch, Halfway To Gone, etc., gathering fans, friends, and drinking partners all over the

Open up them bottles of whiskey, GLASSPACK are back with a new album!!! Eleven tracks in finest "Dirty Ass" American Rock'n'Roll blend, destilled in best MC5, CCR, KISS, MISFITS, MONSTER MAGNET, MELVINS, etc. spirit by mastermind "DIRTY" DAVE JOHNSON and the boys, providing the listener with a few minor changes: There are more guitars than before. Oh, and they're louder, too. The vocals are nastier. The rythm-section hits harder than a hurricane. And then comes track two... The energy cultivated on tours with the likes of SICK OF IT ALL, GAZA STRIPPERS, NEBULA, THE

THE GLASSPACK is dirty ass American Rock'n'Roll. Not of the kind of watered down New York City-rick-kid-wanna be crap you see on MTV. This is the real thing. Two guitars wailing in the darkness and a shot of whiskey between every verse. The kind of band your mother warned you about, THE GLASSPACK's "Powderkeg" is about to arrive. The Pack (as fans know them) , spent the better part of 1999 & 2000 honing their skills on the road and in the studio. By early 2001, THE GLASSPACK released their first full-length CD "American Exhaust" on Riverock Records. Since the very

GREATDAYFORUP behave so much like a force of nature, they could lead a revolution in music and bring the whole thing crashing down, if they only cared to do so. For the last few years, they have been ramming into cities up and down the Eastern Seaboard like a Tsunami (you remember what those do, right? Nothing nice), playing mile-high live sets of aggressive, lethal high-energy Rawk and leaving just as quickly and silently as they arrived; it's no wonder they've been winning the hearts and praise of fans and fellow bands alike. Formed in Albany, New York, GREATDAYFORUP is

In theory, forming a rock group seems like a no brain'er. Get a group of musicians who have a shared love of certain bands and who can get along with each other for at least an hour. Hell, sometimes they don't even have to be musicians (especially if you're looking at the Top 40 charts). But in reality, it's a lot tougher, as the essential ingredient? What makes the group truly unique and memorable - is something that can't be defined, learned, or bought. Call it talent, magic, or whatever you want, but Greenleaf's got it. Asuper group of the stoner rock scene, the band

Rockbands are a dime a dozen now-a-days. One can almost picture how most bands start out, with some pimply face teen pouring over THE STOOGES' "Funhouse" or BLACK SABBATH's "Masters Of Reality" learning every song note for note. Flash forward to college where said teen meets others who have learned the same notes to the same songs and voila you have a band. A band without the soul behind the songs but a band none-the-less. Thank god that's not how GREENLEAF came about. If you ask guitarist Tommi Holappa (DOZER), GREENLEAF came about the same way the bands they loved came

If there's a driving force behind Hackman, it's that simple statement. Life is not a precious gift, so you might as well enjoy some face melting, ass kicking rock. The Boston band certainly has the pedigree for it. Guitarist and occasional vocalist Darryl Sheppard's resume touches just about every great local band. To name them all would take days, so we'll give you just the big ones, Roadsaw and Milligram. The former was one of the few bands of the early "stoner rock" revolution to deftly pick up where Kyuss left off, and the latter's metal meets punk meets hardcore

HALFWAY TO GONE are back with their selftiteled third album and punch your brain into submission with their brand of backwoods, bone crunching rock'n'roll. This is more than just stonerrock, it's 1000 watts of attitude, ten times more in adrenaline and a meaner and tighter band (as a result of their never ending touring) make this something biogger than just the sum of its parts. SKYNYRD inspired jams stand next to the trusty grooves they are loved for, while "Mr. Nasty Time" takes you back to some east village jazz club in 1968. TURNPIKE COULDN'T EVEN FIND A FIGHT

Honky's new release, and the band's first for Small Stone, Balls Out Inn, is the best sonic representation of this amazing Austin trio to date. Led by ex-Butthole Surfer J.D. Pinkus, with Bobby Ed Grath (Godzilla Motor Company, Blowfly) and Kenny Wagner (60 Watt Shaman, Halfway To Gone), this album takes you back to the time when it actually meant something to make a great record . In addition, Gordie Grahm (Big Sugar) drives the record home with a couple of sweet, sweet guest slide and acoustic guitar appearances. After eight years, three releases, dozens of tours with
