Slomosa Bring Their Tundra Rock to New Zealand

Hailing from the city of Bergen, Norway, Slomosa channel the sprawl of their surroundings through a sweeping signature hybrid of revved-up stoner rock riffage, grungy hooks, and a concentrated punk wallop. As if holding up a sonic mirror image to the landscape, an avalanche of distortion tumbles into valleys of massive melody, teeming with tectonic force. Now, the group – Ben Berdous (vocals, guitar), Marie Moe (vocals, bass), Tor Erik Bye (guitar), and Jard Hole (drums) – perfect this inimitable sound on their aptly titled second full-length offering and MNRK heavy debut LP, Tundra Rock.

Joining them on the tour are NZ veteran stoner band Sidewinder. Since forming in late 2020, the band has carved out a formidable presence in Aotearoa’s heavy music scene with their signature blend of riff-heavy psych, swampy delta blues, and southern stoner rock. 2026 will see the release of their third album – Dominion.

In Auckland they are also joined by Tusk, The Bums in Taupo and in Wellington by Mammuthus.
