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.

I been Drivin' down the road takin nothin for granted, Lots of things that I'm contemplatin'
Whats goin up is a revelation
I'm already Sorry I'm already sorry
I'm already Sorry I'm already Sorry
Well feel my shoe Yesterdays like a stone wall breakin
The judge is brought me and my pulse is racin'
Ten thousand miles I can hardly taste it
I'm already sorry I'm already sorry
I'm already sorry I'm already sorry
Well I'm feelin aboutchew
I'm already sorry I'm already sorry
I'm already sorry I'm already sorry
In Sasquatch's song The Judge, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a troubled individual looking back on their life and seemingly regretting some of their actions. The opening lines describe the singer as being "stone cold wasted" for the past sixty days while driving down the road and contemplating what's to come, suggesting that they're at a crossroads in their life. The line "Lots of things that I'm contemplatin'" suggests that there are a lot of personal issues or dilemmas going on in their head that they're trying to sort through.
The chorus, "I'm already Sorry I'm already sorry," is repeated throughout the song and serves as a kind of mantra for the singer. It suggests that perhaps they recognize that they've made mistakes or wrong decisions and are taking ownership of them - or perhaps they're just anticipating the consequences of their actions.
The second verse describes a character with little hope left, who has run into financial trouble and fears they won't be able to pay their bills. The singer seems to be contemplating the inevitability of being "brought before the judge." With "Ten thousand miles I can hardly taste it," the lyrics suggest that the singer has been so lost in thought that they feel like they've been driving endlessly and just going through the motions.
Overall, The Judge is a melancholic song that suggests that the singer is grappling with a lot of weighty issues, from regret to debt and a sense of hopelessness. It's an emotional and introspective piece that resonates with anyone who's ever found themselves reflecting on painful decisions or outcomes.
