Sneeze Weed

Hailing from Geelong and originally New Zealand, Bonniwells play garage songs about religion, bad health, solidarity and girls. They combine a marriage of drums, guitar & bass and occasionally a second guitar. Sneeze Weed has been recorded sporadically and spontaneously in a variety of living rooms across two states of this barren continent. Bonniwells have churned out eleven tracks of garage punk, slop hop and sonic explosions in the form of their upcoming release Sneeze Weed. The album is due for release on Friday 22nd June 2012 via Z-Man Records. 'Sneeze weed' is a common weed with pretty, lazy looking, daisy-like flowers. The common name is based on the former use of it's dried leaves in making snuff, inhaled to cause sneezing that would supposedly rid the body of evil spirits. Sneeze Weed is the follow up album from their critically acclaimed 2010 debut release Unprofitable Servant. The band who are influenced by punk from the 50's, 60's, 70's & 80's as well as the long reaching, sinister arm of the delta blues, describe themselves as 'Distinctions between the alienating of otherness. The other of man, the other of the west, a euphoric narcissistic account of yourself and your kind naive whining about your condition......'. Bonniwells consist of Marck Dean (vocals/guitar), John Waddell (bass) and Zak Olsen (vocals/drums), Bonniwells Sneeze Weed will be available from Friday 22nd June at all good record stores (via Z-Man Records/Fuse Distribution) and CD Baby, iTunes etc. 'If you could get The Stooges, The Cramps, Modern Lovers, Johnny Lydon and The Sonics to have a sleepover in your nan's garage, this would be it...until the neighbours called the cops' Shane Bell, Melbourne Leader 'A raw, dripping slab of '60s garage/psych rock, a cacophony of fuzzing, jangling guitars and pounding drums, straight out of the summer of love but rubbed face down in the dirt of the punk movement and warped for today's vicious times.' Sam Fell, Inpress 'Anchored in the '60s but sounding like the band dreamt it last week, this is fearsomely good....

This is what The Sonics would have sounded like if they took acid.' The Barman i94Bar Website.
