Welcome to Clean and Sober Stoner!
We cover the Heavy Metal Underground, known as Stoner/Doom. Our focus is on new Hard Rock, Heavy Rock, Heavy Metal, Traditional Metal, and Classic Rock-influenced bands in the Heavy Underground.
Clean and Sober Stoner’s aim is to be the #1 resource for new Heavy Metal bands, with music reviews, interviews, and expert tips from Heavy Rock labels, PR firms, and fellow bands who all share their Tales from the Heavy Underground.
Clean and Sober Stoner is also the #1 channel on CZcams that focuses on young and emerging Heavy Metal, Stoner/Doom and Hard Rock bands, giving fans a chance to discover their new favorite band from the Heavy Underground. We have exclusive interviews, reviews and even Live Reaction! Videos when we listen to song and review it, Live and WITH THE BAND!!!
We think that Stoner/Doom is nothing more than the best Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Progressive Rock, and Heavy Blues available today in what we call the Heavy Underground. What sets Stoner/Doom apart is the lack of commercial hype, auto-tune, generic riffs, and bland production that sounds like a bunch of Vanilla Sausage (Circle of Tone). But make no mistake: Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, and even Prog didn’t die- they just went Underground!

“Passing around the same $20 bill” quote hits home! I’ve literally held shows in the record store, took donations, paid the band and they used all the donations to buy records from the shop, I used that $ to buy records from them to sell in the shop after they leave. That quote is 100% spot on.
