Dessert rock music on the radio

Desert rock, also known as stoner rock or desert rock and roll, is a sub-genre of rock music that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by heavy, fuzzy, and distorted guitar riffs, repetitive drum beats, and often features lyrics that are inspired by the desert landscape and culture.

One of the most popular bands associated with this genre is Kyuss, who are often credited with pioneering the sound. Other notable bands in the genre include Queens of the Stone Age, Fu Manchu, and Monster Magnet. Many of these bands are from the Southern California and the Palm Desert area, which has become synonymous with the genre.

Desert rock has also influenced other genres, including grunge and alternative rock. Its popularity has led to the creation of several music festivals, such as the annual Desert Daze festival in California.

When it comes to radio stations, there are several that play desert rock and related genres. For example, KXLU 88.9 FM in Los Angeles has a program called "Molten Universe Radio" that features stoner and desert rock. WFMU's "Three Chord Monte" is another show that plays desert rock and related genres. Additionally, there are several online stations, such as StonerRock.com and Desert-Rock.com, that specialize in this type of music.
