Mondo Generator is an American rock band founded by Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss bassist Nick Oliveri in 1997. Originally conceived as a solo project for Oliveri, Mondo Generator quickly evolved into a full-fledged band with a rotating lineup of musicians from various corners of the rock world. Known for their potent mix of punk, stoner rock, and metal, the band's sound is characterized by gritty riffs, aggressive vocals, and raw energy. They burst onto the scene with their debut album "Cocaine Rodeo," which was recorded in 1997 but released later in 2000, drawing praise for its unapologetic ferocity and establishing the band's cult status among fans of underground rock.

Throughout the years, Mondo Generator has sustained their momentum with a prolific stream of releases and a reputation for intense live performances. Key albums such as "A Drug Problem That Never Existed" and "Dead Planet: SonicSlowMotionTrails" helped solidify their status in the rock world. More recent works, like the commemorative repressing of "Cocaine Rodeo" for its 20th anniversary and the politically charged single "We Stand Against You," showcase the band’s enduring commitment to confrontational themes and sonic experimentation. Their latest offering, "Fuck It," reaffirms their no-holds-barred philosophy and continuous evolution as a band that refuses to play by the rules, maintaining a loyal fanbase eager for their raw and unfiltered approach to music.
