Brant Bjork has spent over a quarter-century at the epicenter of underground rock & roll.  A founding member and composer of the legendary desert band Kyuss, as well as propelling the seminal fuzz of fellow Stoner rockers Fu Manchu from 1994-2000.  Over the last 30 years Brant Bjork has embarked on his solo career as a singer, guitarist, composer and bandleader, founding his own record label and more, his history is a winding narrative of relentless, unflinching creativity.

Brant Bjork is a founding pioneer of the Stoner Rock / Desert Rock music scenes.

In 2025 the Brant Bjork Trio featuring old friend and influential desert rock pioneer Mario Lalli (Yawning Man, Fatso Jetson, Desert Sessions) on bass guitar and Mike Amster (Nebula, Mondo Generator, Spoon Benders)

The new release titled “Once upon a time in the desert” is the result of a long collaborative friendship between Bjork & Lalli .

The music this band creates together is a heavy fluid groove, organic, honest desert rock & roll. The very elements of the genre were created by these veteran independent musicians. This record expresses the principles of those styles.

Brant Bjork’s thoughts on album and relaunch of Duna Records.

“Things come and go and sometimes they come back again. With that said, It's an exciting time for me to be officially re-launching Duna Records. Duna was a vision I had in the mid 90's and it finally became a reality in 2002 until its hiatus in 2006. Duna Records was and will continue to be my personal record label that is a home for all things creative amongst myself and others that are close to me. The timing couldn't be better for Duna to begin a new life. To celebrate this new beginning, I have recorded a new record with the Brant Bjork Trio and it will be Duna's first official returning release.

I'm very lucky to be able to sustain a life as the musician that I am. I certainly wouldn't be able to do so without all of the musicians, music scene partners and of course the fans that have supported me for 25 years. I can't think of a better way to celebrate my musical journey and show my appreciation than to re-launch Duna Records and release new and old music directly to my fans, the way it was always meant to be. Thank you and stay tuned for more desert rock."
