Qualone take a more straight-ahead rawk approach to their stoner song craft as opposed to, say, Los Natas, going for something more akin to Valis or Black Nasa. Here, the Georgia foursome offers ten tracks of fuzzed-face goodness shot through with melodic psych/pop flourishes and Floydian atmospherics.

Qualone play heavy psychedelic guitar rock with melodic edge. Taking influence from old school rock wherever they can find it, people know where they are coming from right away. The music produced is equal parts visceral, in your face rock and put your head in the ether roll. Influences on Qualone's sound include Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, KISS, Deep Purple, Masters of Reality, The Move, Cactus and many others. Dwayne Jones and Bret Showalter lay down a bombastic, tooth-rattling foundation for Andy Samford's crunching rhythms, soaring leads, and powerful vocals, while Brian Holcomb fills out the spaces via strangely effected rhythms, leads and a Theremin. The songwriting shines through with vocal harmonies, layered guitars, and a vintage, "real" sound.
