The Second

Steppenwolf

A gritty blend of heavy blues and acid-drenched organ explorations. The bridge between 1960s psychedelia and the birth of heavy metal.

Find on Amazon

The ultimate soundtrack for a midnight ride through the desert with the organ cranked to ten.

A restless and gritty exploration of the open road, blending rebellious energy with psychedelic mystery.
