Former KYUSS Singer's JOHN GARCIA AND THE BAND OF GOLD: Listen To New Song 'My Everything'

Former KYUSS frontman John Garcia returns with his next incarnation of Desert Rock, JOHN GARCIA AND THE BAND OF GOLD. The group’s self-titled debut album will be released on January 4, 2019 via Napalm. None other than KYUSS and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE producer Chris Goss gave this new groovy piece of dust its finishing touches.

The disc’s latest single, “My Everything”, can be streamed below.

Garcia takes the next step in his almost 30-year career by combining the strengths of his musical past with the achievements of modern times. It’s once again a distinctive John Garcia album.

John told Under The Radar about the lyrical themes covered on “John Garcia And The Band Of Gold”: “I’m a family man — I’m a husband, I’m a father — and there’s a lot of appreciation and a lot of love and a lot of inspiration that comes from family and keeping your eye on the ball. What’s the ball? What’s important? Family’s important. I don’t mean my family, but [Garcia‘s bandmates] Mike Pigmie‘s family, Greg Sainz‘s family. If you’ve got a family, or if your family’s tight. Y’know, I’m not singing about love, as far as ‘oh I love my family.’ It goes deeper behind that. There’s deeper meaning behind some of these lyrics. The theme is keeping your eye on the ball and knowing what’s important in life. And two: keeping a simple rock record. Don’t get too bitchin’. Keep the drums, keep the bass, keep the guitar and don’t finger-fuck this thing. Just make a simple, classic, rock record. And that’s what we made out to do… with me singing over this thing. So it’s not a love record, it’s a rock record stripped down, and sometimes being simple is hard to do. Especially with music. That’s the theme.”

After starting the stoner rock movement by establishing KYUSS together with Josh Homme, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri in 1990, Garcia became one of the most heard voices from the desert in rock history. No doubt that he had massive impact on the desert rock movement by singing in bands like HERMANO, SLO BURN, UNIDA and VISTA CHINO. Since his debut album as a solo artist in 2014 via Napalm Records, he has further established his very own trademarks.

Garcia will embark on a European tour with BAND OF GOLD in late January.
