The Profile

Stoner rock band formed by John Garcia after his time in Kyuss; reviews note Scott Reeder on bass and identify Coping With the Urban Coyote as the band's central official release.

Coping With the Urban Coyote was released on Man's Ruin (as noted in reviews). The Great Divide was shelved by American Recordings and did not hit the market as intended (frozen in 2001, per reviews).

DeBaser reviews praise Unida's Coping With the Urban Coyote as a stoner-rock high point and note The Great Divide's shelving by American Recordings. Reviews highlight John Garcia's vocals, Scott Reeder's bass, heavy riffs and some psychedelic moments. Overall recommendations are positive, with some mentions of filler tracks and rarity of the second LP.

Notable Quotes

❝ First of all, I must say that the album I am about to describe is, in my humble opinion, one of the best releases in the stoner genre among the many that this prolific genre has generously bestowed upon us, so I hope you can forgive me if I intend to calmly dismiss objectivity and everything that comes with it...

❝ the second LP from Unida never really hit the market due to certain unspecified legal hassles with the record label American Recordings, which froze the album in 2001.
