“At its founding, the band rose like a doobie phoenix out of the ashes of BUZZOV•EN. When the cult sludge act called it a day, bass player Dave "Dixie" Collins teamed up with guitarist Dave "Shep" Shepherd and founded WEEDEATER in the harbor town of Wilmington about the year 1998. Their crushing and massive first full-length ‘…and Justice for Y’all’ (2001) created an immediate buzz, while critics were struggling to put a tag on their sound. Nearly everybody agreed that stoner rock, doom, sludge and some crusty elements were part of the mix, which the band simply calls "weed metal".”

“Geordie Joe blows a fine harmonica for one so young, an opinion shared by Americana luminaries like Blind Texas Marlin He bashes out a Dimes Worth of Lard on his battered guitar, too. In short it’s the country blues played with dustbowl simplicity and freight train remorselessness.”
