"RODEO GHETTOBLASTER NOW AVAILABLE"

About Me


"French trio with a penchant for drugs and desert rock..recreate the sunburnt, acid fried lyrics and off-kilter sleazy grind of stoner's best...
- Kerrang
-------------
"A perfect alternative to Queens of the stone age and Earthlings" - Daredevil Magazine
-------------
"You'll not find a more unorthodox songwriting style combined with an unabashed penchant for just being plain ol' catchy at the same time"
- Stonerrockchick
-------------
"I particularly appreciate the enormity of the bass, which is so well figured out, one could almost abolish the drums"
- Beyond Newsletter
-------------
" Loading Data m'a fait penser à l'époque où j'ai découvert "BadMotorFinger". ...inclassable, innovant et terriblement efficace."
- Underground Investigation-------------
"...these guys add enough of their own style to their influences creating a vibe that's both raw and complete"
- Metalshop-------------
"Il existe en France de bons, d'excellents groupes de stoner rock... Loading Data fait partie de ceux-là. Loading Data va bien plus loin et s'impose d'entrée comme LE vocaliste français en matière de stoner.
- Rock Hard-------------
"...remind me of Helmet that meets Che in the middle of the desert. The sound is very warm and keeps a cool 70's feeling"
- Zoopaloop
-------------
"...some of the songs are Kyuss-like in the guitar style but the experimentation in the songs, the change in beats, the incorporation of diverse influences makes this a real stand-out..."
- Stonerrockchick
-------------
"C'est avec des formations de cette qualité que cette scène peut exploser..."
- Hard Rock Mag
-------------
"It's a very compact trio. The sound is tough, heavy, merciless"
- Desert Stoned
-------------
"Loading Data fait partie... des valeurs sûres du stoner français, de ces groupes dont on n'a pas à rougir parce qu'ils sont français, bien au contraire... Ceux-là tiennent la dragée haute à leurs confrères étrangers, tant en qualité qu'en originalité, et certains combos stoner anglais feraient bien de se méfier.
- Psychotic S.T
-------------
"kinda sounds like Pearl Jam and Melvins in an unholy union'"
- Stonerrock.com
-------------
"Loading Data m'a toujours impressionnée. Voix parfaite, songs dans le style, son dans le mouvement... je suis subjuguée par autant de vélocité, de talent et surtout de classe. Je vous aime...
- Psychotic S.T
-------------
"There is plenty of heavy riffage going on but it is delieverd in a somewhat mellow, laid back way, if that makes any sense at all"
- High Beam Music-------------
"...du côté des cactus du grand Ouest américain et son groove côtonneux connu sous le terme de "desert-rock" qu'on aimerait les rattacher, tellement on sent presque le soleil écrasant. Soit un Helmet trempé dans le stoner de Kyuss et dans le grunge de Seattle."
- Hard n Heavy-------------
"3 Piece weird riff-radio hit rock. ...it is Space rockish at times... Different for sure."
- Stonerrock.com
