Stonus (CYP)

Stonus are a desert heavy rock quintet originating from Nicosia, Cyprus since 2015 and currently based in London. Their sound can be described as a mixture of desert, psychedelic, alternative and doom rock with pyrotechnic guitars, fuel firing solos, powerful drumming and raw dirty riffs held together by the melodic vocals and coloured by analogue equipment, complimented by high-energy live performances. To date Stonus have released three extended plays, building up to their debut album 'Aphasia' released in 2020 which made it into several AOYT lists and getting them a deal with Electric Valley Records and Daredevil Records . Stonus have shared the stage with bands including Conan, Elephant Tree, Riverside, Sunnata, Planet of Zeus and Nightstalker and participated in festivals such as Riffolution Fest in Manchester UK and Soundart Fest in Roumania. 

 Berlin and Munich based heavy psych and stoner rock three-piece Swan Valley Heights signed to Fuzzorama Records in early 2019 and released their highly acclaimed second album THE HEAVY SEED later that year in September. In the wake of the release, Swan Valley Heights joined Truckfighters on their European comeback tour, playing 13 shows throughout Austria, Germany, Poland, England, France and Belgium, including performances at Keep it Low and Desertfest Antwerp. Aside from that, the band already played multiple headlining tours, leading them through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Czech Republic.
