Steak formed in the UK in 2010 and have put out a couple of Eps, Corned Beef Colossus & Disastronaught, which you can find on their bandcamp page (link provided at the bottom of this piece). Now they are about to unleash their first full length, Slab City, as their major label debut on Napalm Records. Steak should remind everyone of Kyuss as they appear to be the London reincarnation of that seminal band. If you were a fan of Kyuss, and I assume that’s a yes if you’re visiting Doommantia (Otherwise why man? Just Why?!), then you should definitely enjoy Steak. Kyuss aren’t the only flavor present and I also mean that comparison as a compliment to the band who don’t seem to be just Kyuss wannabe’s but a band with some real musical chops. You’ll hear several other influences in their music as well from bands like Fu Manchu and even some spacey psychedelic influence ala Monster Magnet. Take a listen to the first single, “Rising”, below and you should be thoroughly hooked on Steak as I now find myself.
Now that you’re addicted to Steak you can go pre-order the album (HERE). Slab City comes out Sept 1st in the UK and Sept 9th in the US & Canada. I certainly love a great t-bone and now I love Steak too!
