@autopsy4: “badass” / function: noun / Date: 1956 / often vulgar: a person who is badass (see: Neil Fallon)
As far as I am concerned, Neil Fallon can do no wrong with Clutch and I took that same assumption into the first listen of his side project, The Company Band. The Company Band is a “stoner supergroup” of sorts featuring the aforementioned Neil Fallon (Clutch singer), James Rota (Fireball Ministry singer), Brad Davis (Fu Manchu bassist), Dave Bone (CKY guitarist) and Jess Margera (CKY drummer). Admittedly, I’ve never heard a single song from the other members’ bands (should I?) so I can’t say what you’d think an amalgam of those bands would sound like, but I can say they’re a must-hear for any fan of Clutch.
A couple of years back they released an EP, Sign Here, Here and Here, which was largely focused on anti-corporation material, but the 2+ years between it and the full-length allowed the band to broaden their songwriting focus.
Check it out.

By all means, check out Fu Manchu, particularly KING OF THE ROAD and THE ACTION IS GO. Though, really, they’ve never made a bad album. In fact, you might call them Clutch’s laid back cousins from the west. Both bands started at roughly the same time, though Fu Manchu has had several lineup changes over the last twenty years or so.

96 Quite Bitter Beings from Camp Kill Yourself (CKY) is probably their best effort.

Sounds like Raging Slab fronted by the lead singer for Electric Six.
