Fu Manchu is an American rock band formed in Southern California in 1990, renowned for their heavy, dynamic sound that melds elements of stoner rock, punk, and psychedelic music. Known for their fuzz-driven, sun-drenched riffs and a laid-back West Coast vibe, the band's music often embodies the culture of skateboarding, surfing, and vintage cars—themes that are pervasive throughout their artwork and lyrics. Over three decades into their career, Fu Manchu has maintained a loyal fan base and an enduring presence in the underground rock scene.

Though their lineup has seen changes over the years, the core of the band has remained, with Scott Hill on vocals and guitar since their inception. Fu Manchu's discography exhibits a consistent evolution while staying true to their roots, with "Clone of the Universe" standing as a testament to their relentless drive to push their sound forward. The series of EPs collectively known as "Fu30" celebrates their 30th anniversary, showcasing new material that compliments their expansive catalog, which includes classics like "King of the Road" and "The Action is Go". Their history is also chronicled in releases like "Return to Earth 1991-1993" (Deluxe Edition), providing listeners with a glimpse into the band's formative years. Live recordings such as "Live at Roadburn 2003" capture the raw energy and ethos of a band that has helped define the stoner rock genre.
