They are one of the most disctinctive heavy psych rock bands of all time, the current world of „stoner rock“ would not exist as it does without them: 2019 will see desert rock pioneers NEBULA to release their hotly anticipated 'Demos & Outtakes 98-02' album! Set for a release on January 25th with fuzz rock label HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS RECORDS, this very special record includes 5 tracks that have never seen the light of day before. Alongside rare demos and cover songs such as from Leafhound or a live version of Black Flag's 'Nervous Breakdown', further and known songs on 'Demos & Outtakes 98-02' come in different versions to what NEBULA originally released on previous records alike the pathbreaking 'Charged' or 'To The Center'. Today, NEBULA are sharing with us one of these never-published songs to date, the stunner 'You Got It' – just exclusively premiered with Visions Magazine
Says bassist Mark Abshire: „YOU GOT IT is another very early song written by Eddie Glass. This version of the song was recorded just before the recording of Atomic Ritual. You Got It is quite a different brand of garage psych from what Nebula usually play and as a result, this song never made it’s way into live sets.“

Guitarist Eddie Glass and drummer Ruben Romano formed Nebula in 1997 after breaking away from desert rock pioneers Fu Manchu, eventually recruiting bassist Mark Abshire. The power trio specializes in feedback-drenched heavy rock, incorporating liberal doses of Black Sabbath riffery, psychedelia, and space rock. The band released a number of EPs before moving onto full-length albums like 1999's 'To the Center' and 2001's 'Charged'. They've mainly distinguished themselves as a very hard-working live unit.
NEBULA creates pure guitar-driven, conscious expanding rock for the 21st century. They are a culmination of their rock forbearers such as Jimi Hendrix, MC5, The Stooges and Mudhoney turned up a notch, taken to the next level and blasting through space. NEBULA spread their gospel through the music and what they are preaching will leave the congregation on the floor.
