In the history of heavy rock and roll, the greatest line-up is the three-piece power trio. Think of bands from The Groundhogs, to classic Motorhead, from Cream or The Jimi Hendrix Experience, to Sebadoh and Nirvana. There’s something about the structure, economy and mutual support of that three-piece guitar, bass and drums line-up that makes everything possible. Winters are in that classic rock tradition: an undeniably heavy band but one rooted as much in the pop art tradition of post-mod rock rather than traditional heavy metal. Winters are definitely not another anonymous sludgier-than-thou funeral doom combo. The problem with most stoner bands – and indeed bands from any underground metal genre – is that their influences tend to be other stoner bands. It’s a bit like caged monkeys eating their own faeces. Winters break the mould of predictability, by managing to mix ultra heavy sludge riffs with a melodic kind of pop sensibility. Their unique brand is surely capable of bringing heavy music to a wider than usual, already converted audience.
