WEEDPECKER: III

First Review of 2018:

I had pre-ordered this on Amazon, and it was finally available to download today.  I have come to view Weedpecker as very comparable to Elder.  They are operating on a higher level than most bands, both in terms of technical proficiency and in creativeness of songwriting.  The sprawling, evolving song structures resemble free-form jams but are so good that we can tell they are well thought out.  Those who felt that Weedpecker II was too mellow will find this one a bit heavier.  Here is the track that was pre-released, called "Liquid Sky": (somehow this dude had this track back in early May)

Now, one of my three favorites, "From Mars To Mercury".

I like Weedpecker III better than Elder's "Reflections Of A Floating World", and that's saying a lot.  

Am only on my first listen but this is my favorite of the three Weedpecker albums already.  Get it here digitally for $6.99 from Amazon, or from the source, Stickman Records here.  First 2018 album I've heard and I already expect in to be on my top ten list in December.  

Weepecker is:

Wyro-guitar & vocal
Bartek-guitar & vocal

Falon-drums

Finally, here's a picture I found on the band's Facebook page that made me laugh:

Over and out, and Happy New Years!   -ULTRA

This week's Ultra Review - Weedpecker

WEEDPECKER: Weedpecker

     Stoner Rock taken to the next level. Really thoughtful and creative songwriting. Sprawling, ever-evolving compositions with multiple takes on a heavy sound. Poland has given us some solid stoner rock before (Palm Desert, Belzebong) but Weedpecker is on another level of songwriting. This album is comparable to Elder’s Dead Roots Stirring, but possibly heavier and more diverse at the same time. Not just one of the best albums of 2013, but one of the best albums in my collection. Every single tune is highly worthy, and I can’t wait to see what comes next from this band. Weedpecker deserves your attention if you are looking for something different. - ULTRA
