Pontiak

Pontiak may be two different artists: Baltimore/Virginia-based trio Pontiak is comprised of multi-instrumentalist brothers Van (guitar, vocals), Jennings (bass, keyboards, vocals), and Lain (drums, vocals) Carney. To date, the prolific Pontiak's releases - two EPs, two full lengths ("Valley of Cats" and "Maker") and a mini-LP, "Sun on Sun" have been self-produced, moody slabs of guitar-based rock. The band has grown heavier with each record; "Sun on Sun" can fairly be called a hybrid of classic- and stoner-rock, with songs running into 10-minute territory and extended instrumental breaks.
