2) Hellbenders

The album Brand New Fear is a heaping serving of stoner rock with some classic Southern rock flair to it. That’s why you’d have every right to be surprised when hearing that this group of 20-something year olds actually hail from the Brazilian state Goiás and have actually never stepped foot onto American soil until now. And as you can tell from the live video above, Hellbenders have the explosive live show to back up its full-throttle sound.
