Godchilla

**Godchilla** is a raucous stoner metal trio hailing from Detroit, known for fuzzed-out riffs, psychedelic grooves, and lyrics that flirt with sci-fi absurdity. Formed in 2019 by guitarist/vocalist Jake “Space Cowboy” Lerma, bassist Mia “Thunderbabe” Ruiz, and drummer Darryl “Dr. Doom” Chen, the band quickly carved a niche with their live-wire performances and tongue-in-cheek cosmic themes. Tracks like “Cosmic Garbage Boy” and “Hypnopolis” showcase their knack for pairing Sabbath-worshiping riffs with retro-futuristic storytelling, while “Holiday Club” leans into their love for desert rock swagger. Their DIY ethos extends to hand-drawn merch and trippy VHS-style music videos. After self-releasing their debut album *Astro Fuzz* (2021), they’ve become festival favorites, opening for acts like Clutch and High on Fire while maintaining a proudly unpolished, basement-show energy.
