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.
Believe It
Sasquatch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I drove back to yesteryear
Sometimes seen and sometimes not
I believe theres a lochness monster
What a wicked web we weave
When governments decieve
And i wanna believe...
In the middle of a deep dark night
Light years away from neon
Unexplained sightings in the sky
I believe there are aliens
What a wicked web we weave
When governments decieve
And i wanna believe...
I gotta believe
Conspiracy theroy abound
But the truth is under ground,
I wanna believe I wanna believe
I gotta believe
In a clearing in a deep dark wood
In a cave thats lined with moss
Lives a thing half man half beast
I believe theres a bigfoot sasquatch
What a wicked web we weave
When governments decieve
And i wanna believe...
I gotta believe
Conspiracy theroy abound
But the truth is under ground,
I wanna believe I wanna believe
I gotta believe
The lyrics of Sasquatch's song "Believe It" speak to the existence of mythical creatures, extraterrestrial beings, and conspiracies in the world. The first verse mentions a deep dark lake and a belief in the Lochness Monster, which is a legendary creature said to inhabit Loch Ness in Scotland. The second verse speaks of unexplained sightings in the sky, leading to a belief in aliens. The third verse mentions the existence of Bigfoot, a legendary, ape-like creature said to inhabit the forests of North America.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "What a wicked web we weave when governments deceive, and I wanna believe... I gotta believe." This line is a reference to the idea that governments often conceal information or manipulate public perception, leading to a proliferation of conspiracy theories. Despite this, the singer of the song wants to believe in the existence of these mythical creatures, even if they may seem far-fetched or impossible.
This song speaks to the human desire to believe in something greater than ourselves, whether it be monsters in a deep, dark forest or life on other planets in faraway galaxies. It also touches on the skepticism towards authority that can arise when governments conceal information, and the tendency for people to question what they are told.
