THE :EGOCENTRICS

About Me

"The Timisoara, Romanian power trio craft surprisingly intelligible and sensible songs despite their abandonment of traditional song structures. What’s more, Mystic Initiation offers desert rock breaks and atypical solos between bouts of Pink Floyd flashbacks."
stonerrock.com (USA) 2009
"This band has promise for sure. I look forward to hearing their next material."
Lowcut (DK) 2009
"What they play is beyond description. Seriously guitar heavy, stoner grooved post metal. My best advice is to pop over to their myspace page and see what the best of the Romanian rock scene has to offer. This one you won't regret."
The Ripple Effect (USA) 2008
"Blues and 70's psychedelic rock are flowing like fresh blood through their instrumental heavy rock, and I'm surprised about the good quality of their blend. This is a very good start from a new band, which deserves more attention."
Cosmic Lava (DE) 2009
"This release does beg the question "what is stoner rock?". Is it a bunch of hairy dudes cranking out fuzzed up riffs and singing about the desert and fast cars or is it a band like The:Egocentrics who create a blissed out weaving network of grooves and melodies that would sound best slumped on a bean bag on the floor with a few candles and a massive bong."
