Around the corner of Queens Of The Stone Age and next to the village of Asterix live the three-piece that is Menhir. It's a well-picked name for a band that is often described to be 'as solid as a rock'. Adjectives like 'heavy, big-ass and overwhelming' are also often used. And it's no wonder, the three lads from Groningen are specialised in testing the ground work of houses and buildings alike, thanks to the use of two bass players and one drummer. Formed in 2012 they play a brutal mix of southern and stoner rock.
