Review
Russian stoner rock scene are one of the most active and promising place for new heavy rock bands , like Cactus Jumper ,Stone Cold Boys , Brand Band and The Re-Stoned but The Grand Astoria are slightly different ....
From west Russia 'The Grand Astoria' band  are formed three years back , meanwhile they released many songs in compilations and albums , the performed an alloy of psychedelic , stoner rock , and punk with progressive elements , from the first point of view and listening is confusing !
The 'same title EP' song starts slow and extend with  a heavy guitar riff supporting with backing vocals , the progressive metal elements are obvious here , nevertheless this track remind me the Belgians  Soulwax .'Enigma Satanica' is an instrumental this track refers to an electronic version of latest  Kyuss and Queens Of  The Stone Age , ends up with a melancholy parts.
The Grand Astoria lacks of heaviness but they create an identity with a plenty of their influences , vote down.
