After almost 2 years of hard work, Ditch have completed the first full-length since the release of their acclaimed debut “Boca Do Inferno” (2014). An album containing 9 tracks written and perfected over the last few years, transformed into a dynamic and diverse collection of songs – sometimes hinting at the kings of 90s Stoner Rock, but always with a unique modern twist and a style all their own. Huge, pounding percussion, massive Fuzz-Heavy guitars and roaring bass complete the wall of sound that many listeners crave. Yet there is also room for dreamy, spacey segments and a variety of tempos. Over 40 minutes of what Stoner Rock/Stoner Metal is all about!
Over the past 14 years, Ditch have stormed the stages of several countries to spread their wall of Heavy Fuzz Sound with tons of Desert groove. They have managed to share the stage with other stoner fans such as Komatsu (NL), Candybar Planet (NL), 1000mods (GR), Belzebong (POL), Monster Truck (CAN), Five Horse Johnson (USA), God-sized (UK), The Grand Astoria (RU), Hemplifier (MT), Witch Piss (BE), Baardvader (NL) and Atomic Vulture (BE). Their debut album “Boca Do Inferno” caused quite a stir and the closing instrumental track on that album, “One Way Trip to the Sun,” became a genuine cult hit with 3.3 million streams on Spotify and even more on YouTube in the last two years. In 2021, the band is back at it again with a brand new EP, “Coldfoot, Alaska.”
