AAWKS
A homegrown, underground stoner rock artist.
Hailing from the mysterious foothills of Kempenfelt Bay in Barrie Ontario Canada, AAWKS make that occult, heavy, psych, stoner, doom, fuzz rock that your step dad digs. They explore fantastical themes of the occult and spin tales of mind expansion and spaced out exploration of the multiverse. AAWKS is: Randy(drums) Paraíso(gtr/violin/synth) Grimepup(bass/vocals) Kris(vocals/gtr/organ/synth). AAWKS often collaborates with other musicians and have no plans of being anything but an amoebus like gel, enveloping any entity in its path that may contribute to its creative wants. AAWKS released their debut full length album (((((HEAVY ON THE COSMIC))))) in June of 2022 on Black Throne Productions which landed at #2 on the Doom Charts that month. Since then they’ve toured with Montreal’s Sons of Arrakis and kept up a steady string of live shows. The split album with Aiwass “The Eastern Scrolls”was released in August of 2023 and their second ep. LUNA came out later that year in Dec 2023. Their second full length entitled On Through The Sky Maze was released in May 2025 and landed at #7 on the Doom Charts that month.
