The sun sets and the moon rises and the desert falls silent. The winds howl with the coyotes and as the sand gently brushes across the rocks, a sound is heard. A wall rises from nothing, bringing with it devastation and beauty. It is the sound of doom, of the riff, of the bombast of bass and drums. It is the sound of Arizona and the desert. Weedian‘s “Trip to Arizona” is a glorious reflection of the musical growth of the state and its musicians. They are sunburnt, dust bitten, and free – they are sonic explorers who weave songs in the winds of the sandstorm. They are children of the desert, whether high or low, bringing riffs that free them from the dangers of the nature that surrounds them.
