Weedeater at The Studio at Webster Hall (more by Markus Shaffer)

After years of blown-out woofers and blown-off toes, the south's most notorious sizzurp sippers Weedeater are back with their latest ode to doom and intoxicants, Jason... The Dragon. Clocking in at 35 minutes, the LP features a lot of the same booming, razor-throated doom that marked their killer last release, God Luck & Good Speed, as well as a few curve-balls. Much like with God Luck, Southern Lord is behind the band's new effort, and the LP features ten tracks including the lead-off single "Mancoon", which makes its debut here. Stream it below, and preorder the record via our friends at Shirtkiller.

As previously discussed, Weedeater is on the road for a BrooklynVegan-sponsored trek for much on February and March (including SXSW), and will tag Santos Party House on Feb 24th with ASG. Tickets are still on sale.

Full & updated Weedeater tour dates, that song stream, and some video is below.

Is Weedeater really all that different from all the dime-a-dozen stoner metal bands that play Brooklyn all the time anyway?

Posted by Anonymous | February 1, 2011 11:56 AM

Asg is sick. they should be the headliners

Posted by Anonymous | February 1, 2011 12:03 PM

I just went to buy my ticket. Yeah, ASG is great, but Weedeater + ASG for $14? Wow.

Posted by Chad | February 1, 2011 12:36 PM

listen to the sausage.

Posted by Anonymous | February 1, 2011 1:00 PM

lyrics include "like white on rice"....Instant fail! Seriously, with so many bands to choose from, it only takes one utterly lame factor to persuade me to move on....pass!

1:08, ladies & gentlemen! The only person to ever listen to a Weedeater track for the lyrics. It's about the riffs, genius.

Posted by Anonymous | February 1, 2011 1:33 PM

Chad: Wow, as in a good deal, or expensive?

1:33: I guess the lyrics didn't do it for him. But yeah, 1:08 needs to give things a second chance it seems.

Yes, $14 is worth it. And 11:56, yes, they are different from all of the stoner metal bands that play around here. Do your own research.

Do fans of "stoner metal bands" also enjoy dipping pita triangles and baby carrots into tan substances similar to their hip bushwick counterparts?

Posted by Anonymous | February 1, 2011 2:45 PM

Nah, they want to eat the flesh right off your skull after a few bong rips.

Posted by Anonymous | February 1, 2011 2:51 PM

2:35: How so? I don't really have time right now for research at the moment.

BTW, I was 1:37 and 11:56.

3:48. Because he booked the show thats why

It's about the ridiculously over-the-top amount of power/amplification used (which does come through in the recordings to some degree, but really must be experienced live), the resulting organ- and bone-rattling vibrations, the tones, grooves, crushing riffs, attitude, and passion. Get high and/or wasted and release the Kraken.

"Seriously, with so many bands to choose from, it only takes one utterly lame factor to persuade me to move on....pass!"

Hmmm... guessing you gladly swallow any faux-electro, vaguely dancey, "indie pop" shit that's shoveled down your throat though.

4:47: Huh? What does that even mean?

Hail the mighty Weedeater.
