Wreak… Read Full Bio ↴Sasquatch is a stoner rock band from Los Angeles, California.
Wreaking havoc with their fourth Small Stone release, Sasquatch lead the way with their fiery brand of rock n' roll. You'll hear 70's hard rock mixed with a dash of metal carried by an unmistakable undercurrent of psychedelic sounds which permeate their songs. The band was formed in Los Angeles in 2001 by Philadelphia transplant Keith Gibbs (guitar, vox) and Detroit natives Rick Ferrante (drums) and Clayton Charles (bass). Upon Clayton’s departure in 2007, the guys recruited Chicagoan Jason Casanova (ex-Tummler, Volume) to join the fold. Drawing on influences from 70's metal, rock, and psychedelia, the band falls somewhere between an amalgamation of Black Sabbath, old Soundgarden, Deliverance-era Corrosion of Conformity, Mountain, and a bastardized version of Grand Funk Railroad. Their songwriting approach is clear; keep the focus on the hook.
The band’s newest album “IV” was just released on Small Stone Records in September 2013. What fans will hear is arguably the power trio’s most mature, inspired and diverse song-set to date, chunked with compositional twists, both heartwarmingly familiar and totally unexpected, plus thundering power chords, sizzling solos, shrewd melodic flights and even super-trippy moments – but all of it heavy on the heavy, as they say…always. Unprecedented attention was also devoted to spinning engaging new yarns out of those evergreen rock and roll stories about love lost, hate found, relationships built and lives trashed, homes wrecked, etc. All’s fair in Love and Doom.
The band’s music has been featured on a variety of movies and television shows including FX’s original hit series Sons of Anarchy, A&E's Dog The Bounty Hunter, Jersey Girl, CW’s The Supernatural, and MTV’s Viva La Bam, Bam’s Unholy Union, Rob and Big, and the reissue of Clerks. They can also be heard on a number of video games including NHL 2005, American Chopper, and Monster Garage.

Sasquatch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sommers green and I'm a need a little more
Not sure you know its goin to my head baby
She's a tease she almost looks a little scared yeah
I can't take it any more
Pound my fist into the door
I can't take it any more
Pound my fist into the door
It's the one, it's the only one I need
It's a sun so bow my head and sense and greed
Long legs shes my sister raven hair
Where she's goin' I don't even fuckin care, No
I can't take it any more
Pound my fist into the door
I can't take it any more
Pound my fist into the door
The lyrics to Sasquatch's "Dragonfly" seem to describe a person who is feeling restless and seeking more excitement in their life. The opening line "makin noise scratchin at my back door" could be interpreted as a metaphor for this restlessness, almost as if something is trying to get in but the person is not sure what it is. The mention of "sommers green" could refer to summer, a time of year associated with freedom and adventure. The line "Not sure you know it's goin to my head baby" could suggest that this person is feeling a little delirious or dizzy from their desire for something more.
The following lines depict a woman who is almost playing hard-to-get, or teasing the singer. There is a sense of frustration and desperation in the repetition of lines "I can't take it any more, pound my fist into the door." The singer might feel trapped or confined in their current situation and unable to escape. The mention of a "sister" with raven hair is intriguing, as it could suggest a familial or close relationship with this woman, yet the singer does not seem to care where she is going or what she is doing. Overall, the tone of the lyrics is one of longing, frustration, and a desire for something more.
