BIO

Having a sound rooted in the blues-infused psychedelia of the ‘70s and being graciously accepted by long-haired fans of all kinds, after 11 strong years Mountain Dust continue to ignore the rules of stoner/doom while still capturing the essence of raw, soulful rock with a modern edge.

With German boutique label Kozmik Artifactz behind them for their previous releases, Nine Years (2016) and Seven Storms (2018), they have received worldwide attention and support helping secure their place as regulars of the international hard rock festival circuit with appearances at the 2018 editions of Germany’s Freak Valley and Sweden’s Muskelrock during an extensive tour of Europe, and a performance at Heavy Montreal 2019.

Hailing from Montreal, the quartet consists of Brendan Mainville (vocals/guitar), Patrick Bennett (lap steel/organ), Blair Youngblut (drums), and Hal Jaques (bass).

NOTABLE SHOWS

“Five out of five Satan salutes for Mountain Dust...the music breathed, but it breathed like Godzilla...Imagine Zeppelin on their first american tour, pre-superstardom; that’s the impression Mountain Dust left in their wake.”
