Description
Earthless is the brainchild of Mario Rubalaba. A prolific drummer, Mario has worn the alias of Ruby Mars during his stint with Rocket From The Crypt, went on to bang away for the Hot Snakes, previously was a member of Black Heart Procession and prior to that, Mario was a member of Tony Alva's Alva Team Skateboarding crew.
The trio, based out of San Diego, met through mutual friends and a fondness for under the radar record collections. Mario explains how the band connected, "We discovered a mutual admiration for a lot of Japanese psychedelic hard rock bands - as well as primitive 60s garage music. After combing over each other's record collections and lending out records, we came upon the idea of, "Lets specifically start a Japanese-Psychedelic-Heavy-Kraut-Rock-Band. With the Japanese bands it was always a really kind of heavy, blues, twisted take on Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin. Isaiah is an awesome guitar, seeing him play just sealed the deal. Magic happened in the room. Since then, weve followed that formula!".
The album was recorded by Tim Green (The Fucking Champs, Pearls & Brass, The Melvins, The Saviours) in January 2007. It's a molten mass of psychedelic guitar dirge, calling out the ghosts of Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Blue Cheer.
