1) A stoner rock/metal band from Borlänge, Sweden.
2) A hardstyle DJ.
3) An alternative group from Seattle.
1) The band was founded in 1995. In the late 90's they began sending out their demo, although not really expecting anything big to happen. When Frank Kozik of Man's Ruin Records heard their demo, he immediately signed them. Man's Ruin released their first album, In the Tail of the Comet. Soon after, they came out with their second release, Madre de Dios. This was not as successful as 'In the Tail of the Comet' due to Man's Ruin collapse shortly after its release. In 2003, Dozer made a comeback with Call it Conspiracy. Their latest album, Through the Eyes of Heathens has achieved much success with its more hard rock and metal influences.
The current line-up:
Fredrik Nordin (vocals, rhythm guitar)
Tommi Holappa (lead guitar)
Johan Rockner (bass guitar)
Olle 'Bull' Mårthans (drums)
Fredrik and Tommi are also part of the swedish stoner band Greenleaf.

2) Dozer (DJ Tony) started his career at a very remarkable way in 1990. Back in those days he had a friend which was resident at a local club in Eindhoven. Tony always went to that club with his friend. At that time Tony had the thought of starting a dj career of his own but it didn’t come to this point yet. One day his friend couldn’t make it to the club and asked Tony to replace him that night. This was the immediate start of his career. The owner of the club was stunned by his performance and offered him a residency at his club.
From the beginning Tony played house music which was just upcoming at that time. By the end of the nineties the hardhouse became more popular and Tony picked it up and directly stated playing this kind of house music. Eventually the hardhouse would split up in hardstyle and jump. The last style is the main music style Tony is playing in his sets nowadays. Of course Tony also plays hardstyle with a wink to early rave.
In 2004 his long awaited first track was released and from that moment on he also made name as a producer. All his tracks are released on the Superplastic label, which is a sub label of the famous Fusion label. His tracks found their way to all famous jumpstyle artists and are now heard at every big party and club. His first record was Whipe Out/ Kick and would be followed by more massive tracks like Afraid of the Dark, Squels and Krekwakwou. Tony spends a lot of time in his studio and you can be sure that more jumpstyle hits will follow!
The success of his tracks was picked up by the big promoters and soon he played on all big events like Defqon, Q-Base and Hard Bass. Today he is a resident at the Rodenburg and besides that he played at the biggest clubs in Europe, like the Time Out (NL), the Matrixx (NL), Outland (NL), Cherrymoon (BE), Zak (DE), Oxa (CH) and the Mad (CH). Everywhere Tony performs, the crowd is going wild!
Meanwhile Tony is a well known artist with recognisable tracks and his own style of performance. For sure you are going to hear a lot of DJ Tony in the near future!

Big Sky Theory
Dozer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today
Let the weight
Drop dead
Well I should…
Wonder why
Don’t dare
Let your grief
Away
Well I could invite you all in this war…
Arms control
A waste
Just a wreck
No spare
Let it fold…
So refuse
To die
Broken clouds
The end is nigh
Well we could invite you all in this war…
This end won’t justify the means
The truth has been a little bent
Your men will turn into machines
Is that the letter of intent?
And still we march right into war
Like serpents trying to feel warmth
And soon it all will just implode
This nuclear storm will leave you cold…
The lyrics to Dozer's song Big Sky Theory can be interpreted as a commentary on war and the destructive nature of humanity. The opening lines "Say it once, today, let the weight drop dead" could refer to the burden of war that people carry and the desire to let go of it. The lines "Wonder why, don't dare, let your grief away, well I could invite you all in this war" could be an invitation to reflect on why wars happen and the devastating effects they have on people. The chorus, "This end won't justify the means, the truth has been a little bent, your men will turn into machines, is that the letter of intent?" suggests that war is not a justifiable means to an end, as it often involves deception and the dehumanization of soldiers.
The second verse continues with the theme of war as a futile and destructive endeavor. The lyrics "Arms control, a waste, just a wreck, no spare, let it fold" suggest that attempts to control weapons and prevent war are useless, as war will always lead to destruction. The lines "So refuse to die, broken clouds, the end is nigh, well we could invite you all in this war" are a call to resist war and the culture of violence that perpetuates it. The final verse emphasizes the inevitability of destruction when people continue to march blindly into war, as the "nuclear storm will leave you cold".
Overall, the song Big Sky Theory is a powerful critique of war and the human tendency towards violence and destruction. It encourages reflection on the reasons why wars happen and the toll they take on individuals and society as a whole.
