Lowrider (band)
Lowrider is a swedish stoner rock band, formed in the mid-1990s by bassist/singer Peder Bergstrand and lead guitarist/singer Ole Hellquist, along with guitarist Niclas Stalfors and drummer Andreas Eriksson.
Lowrider released the Nebula/Lowrider Double EP in 1999 together with ambassadors of psychedelic stoner rock, Nebula, who had just come into existence after their members departed from Fu Manchu. The EP was released in time for the beginning of Lowrider's European tour in 2000, when they played fourteen venues in eight different countries, co-headlining with Dozer and once with Spiritual Beggars [1]. Their debut album Ode to Io was released the same year and unleashed a controversy regarding their musical influences. While they gained much critical praise on the one hand, as they were hailed as "Sweden's answer to all that is rocky, funky, gritty, and down right rock n' roll." (Critical Metal), others dismissed them, with Kerrang! awarding them the "Most Convincing Kyuss Clones Award" ([2]).
Although officially, "Lowrider has started the recording process of the new album" in 2003, there has not been any news since. If the band will return from this hiatus is unknown.
