One of the original and only all-female stoner rock bands, BOTTOM is known for marathon tours, playing multiple shows a day, 300+ shows a year. Spawned from the fiery depths of New York City's Lower East Side, BOTTOM is currently headquartered in San Francisco. While both sound and lineup evolve, BOTTOM remains a heavy, heavy metal band.

Lead by guitarzan and volume-addicted songwriter, Sina is a mosh-head with monster riffs, guitar likened to Greg Ginn and vocals to Staley, Plant and a velociraptor. Moving to NYC to pursue art in 1992, Sina is a Chicago-land native. Landing in NYC's Lower East Side, Sina worked as a studio assistant for female activist/artist MaryBeth Edelson, Ralph Lauren, bigadvertising as well as played in the NYC Lower East Side bands Wanna, Racer17 and Spee-doe while also working as Studio Manager for The Rolling Stones Mobile (Loho Studios). Sina has also been guest vocal on random projects such as MojoJelly and Toilet Boys. Playing violin since the age of two with the Suzukimethod, Sina's current weapons of choice are Gibson Les Pauls and a stack ofamps. Her recent projects include vocals for deathmetal band Angrböda, videoediting, green event production as well as being a founding member of theall-female Led Zeppelin tribute, Zepparella.

BOTTOM's rhythm section consists of drummer, Kevin Swartz and bassist, Nathan Taylor. Kevin Swartz joined BOTTOM in 2011, most recentlyplaying drums with Archer, Burning Monk and Forgotten Gods. In a recent Stonerrock.com interview, Sina quotes “Swartz is an incredible addition to the BOTTOM family. He’s has a relentless double-kick, sticks of thunder and anatural sense of hard groove. While we know Swartz originally hails from Oregon and he’s been a drum student under Mike Vanderhule (Y&T, Montrose,SoulMotor) and Jimmy DeGrasso (Megadeth, Ozzy, Suicidal Tendencies), we’ve been wondering 'where the hell he’s been?' It seems like I’ve been awaiting hisarrival forever. I’m truly pleased in the direction our riffs can go.” Bassist,Nathan Taylor, formerly of the San Francisco-based My Last Day on Earth, joinedBOTTOM in 2013. A long-time devotee ofthe dark and heavy music scene, Nate draws his influences from diverse sourcessuch as metal, prog, jazz, Gandharva-Veda, classical, industrial, and theambient noises heard every day in a large city. Nate is on a lifelong quest to generate music that is by turn moving, pummeling, and transcendent.

Upcoming in 2014: BOTTOM will release our next Long Player,Hug Myself…All the Time. Originally planned for a 2009 release, this recordwill drop in 2014 after an epic saga of line-up changes, witches, babies, neardeath experience, a stint of blindness and people jumping out of burning buildings. “Hug Myself…All the Time” is co-produced by Sina and legendaryengine-ear/producer Billy Anderson (Mr. Bungle, Neurosis, Sleep, Melvins, HighOnFire). "This long awaited release is a nod to our stonerrock roots,but takes it further, harder, darker. The riffs are massive. It has largebeautiful parts and thrashes all at the same time! I can't wait till it's out!”says Sina. This album is yet again the masterful studio creation of BOTTOM and Billy Anderson, even crediting Billy as the fifth Beatle – he did jump out of a burning building with the only copy after all!

In 2012, BOTTOM released MMXII. The five song EP, MMXII, is alive recording that features a couple metal thrashers as well as one of BOTTOM’s 1999 “Made in Voyage” classics re-vitalized by the new lineup. This EPis emotional, bold and just a mere taste of what to look forward to from thecurrent outfit.

BOTTOM's debut, Made in Voyage, was recorded in NYC, producedby Greg Gordon (engineer for Slayer, Helmet, and Public Enemy) and released in 1999 on the band's label Mudflap Records. After launching their first Europeaninvasion in 2002, BOTTOM returned stateside preparing for their next release.BOTTOM's second LP, Feels So Good When You're Gone, was also co-produced by Billy Anderson. Originally release in 2001 on artist Frank Kozik's label, MansRuin Records, the later re-issued by Lee Dorrian's (Cathedral) UK label RiseAbove Records. Spinning a sinister tale in a glamorous apocalypse, Feels soGood When You're Gone is thick with monster riffs, killer hooks and simultaneouslymakes your ears bleed while your doomed heart leaps with joy.

You'rNext is BOTTOM's third offering. This experimentalalbum, released by Small Stone Records in 2005 features Sina's signaturevoluminous feedback passages as well as the unexpected violin, trumpet andflute embedded in rock tracks. You'rNext is a dark folktale that twists andturns like an old saw wiseacre then digs into your head like a ritual from theBook of the Dead. Delivered with all the subtlety of the Grim Reaper, You'rNexttells a gypsy lie using minor chords, soul piercing howls and guitar tones thatcircle like ravenous buzzards.

BOTTOM has participated in various compilations includingHigh Times Magazines 'High Volume' (Clutch, Corrosion Of Conformity, Nebula,High On Fire) and Live at Continental "Best of NYC" Volume 2 (TheRamones, D-Generation, H2O, Murphy's Law ).
