Harsh Toke

Psychedelic Rock Band

Harsh Toke is a psychedelic rock band known for their heavy, improvisational music that draws influence from classic rock, blues, and psychedelic genres. Emerging from the San Diego music scene, the group has carved out a niche for themselves within the stoner rock and psychedelic community. Their sound is characterized by extended jams, fluid guitar work, and a generally hypnotic atmosphere that pays homage to the classic era of psychedelic rock while infusing it with a modern edge. The band's album "Light Up And Live," released in 2013, showcases their ability to blend spontaneous musical interplay with structured compositions. Harsh Toke's collaborative spirit is also evident in their split release "Acid Crusher / Mount Swan" with Earthless in 2016, which further solidified their reputation for expansive and mind-altering music. The band's approach to music emphasizes the live experience, aiming to take listeners on a sonic journey through their performances and recordings.
