King Buffalo's Sean McVay told me I had to check out Nashville-based All Them Witches, citing them as his favorite band in the world. I gave in, buying the album "Lightning at the Door." Wouldn't have thought great stoner rock could come from a country-heavy city like Nashville, but boy did I think wrong. At times spacey and atmospheric, or loud, fuzz-driven vintage rock, I imagine this must have been what it was like to hear a Floyd, Zeppelin, or Sabbath for the first time back in the day. The tunes have elements of psych-rock and metal, and it's trippy as all hell. Those who appreciate classic rock and early metal should really dig this one.
All Them Witches plays with King Buffalo, The Well, and The Ginger Faye Bakers on Sunday, February 8, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $8-$10. bugjar.com; allthemwitches.org.
