'''Slo Burn''' is an American [[stoner rock]] band that was primarily active in 1996 and 1997. The band was formed by [[John Garcia (singer)|John Garcia]] of the influential stoner rock band [[Kyuss]], which had split up some months previously. Garcia was joined by Chris Hale on guitar, Damon Garrison on bass, and Brady Houghton on drums.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/slo-burn-mn0001625569#wre|title=Slo Burn|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=October 5, 2013}}</ref>

== History ==
In 1996, the band distributed a five-song demo, and in April 1997 released an [[Extended play|EP]] entitled ''[[Amusing the Amazing]]'' through the record label Malicious Vinyl. According to interviews, Garcia claimed that the band also intended to record a full-length album. Slo Burn played [[Ozzfest]] in 1997, before splitting in 1998. Garcia subsequently joined the equally short-lived band [[Unida]], before becoming the vocalist with [[Hermano (band)|Hermano]], which have since recorded three studio albums.

In 2017, Slo Burn reunited and played shows at several European festivals including Desertfest London and Freak Valley. They made a single appearance in the U.S. at Psycho Las Vegas 2017.

==Musical style==
Slo Burn has a sound very similar to that of latter-day Kyuss, which can be attributed to Garcia's singing style and the production work of [[Chris Goss (U.S.)|Chris Goss]]. However, the music is more direct and less layered and complex. [[AllMusic]] describes their style as "simple structures formed out of monolithic rhythm guitars" with "guitar solos that come and go and vibrate weirdly on the way".
