	Brant Bjork
		However, Brant decided to take the road less traveled and took an offer to rock with his old surf buddies Fu Manchu, a rock adventure that took him into the studio for five records and around the world in four years.
		Bjork plays all the instruments on the record and sings with such unbridled soul and conviction it not only confirms Bjork as one of the baddest rock drummers of our time, but also legitimizes him as a premier talent on all levels.
		Brant combines the straight forward rock and roll approach of CH'E, the stoner pop feel of the Operator's first record, and the loopy grooves of Jalamanta that once again has Brant Bjork leading the most innovative fast-forward throw back rock and roll since the Ramones.

	AMZ December, 1999 - Brant Bjork
		Formerly of Kyuss and Fu Manchu fame, drummer "Brant Bjork" revels in the spotlight on his latest venture into solo terrain with "Jalamanta." Could it be he's trading in the desert sands for sandy beaches?
		On his new release, Bjork is found to still retain that feel of the desert, but rarely hides the fact that he's given to leisure travel as the mood suits him.
		Bjork's new music features a stripped-down and very skin and bone recording, reigning in plenty of '70s stimuli, as well as encroaching on a more soulful design that many have yet to realize, their heads evidently still clouded from the incessant blare of the bass.

		As the tub thumper propelling Kyuss and Fu Manchu through a series of acclaimed albums, Brant Bjork has secured his high place in the history of stoner rock.
		With its tight intimate sound and Bjork on nearly every instrument, the album boogies like the best 70's rawk, but when it veers away from the riffs you can see that there's a more adventurous musician coming out.
		Bjork's former Kyuss bandmate Josh Homme has achieved great crossover success with his group Queens of the Stone Age, with the sounds on this album, the man who sat behind him could go the same way.

	Brant Bjork & The Bros - Pittsburgh, PA - Club Cafe
		So Brant Bjork is one of the early pioneers of “desert rock.”; An early collaborator with Josh Homme (Queens of The Stone Age) in Kyuss, he took a break and played drums and guitar in various bands, returning years later to record on the first few of the many “Desert Session”; disks with Homme.
		When Brant and The Bros finally come out Brant was juggling a few beers in one hand and what looked like a cup of straight whiskey in the other.
		Brant, with his long, fl, curly mane topped off with a bandana presented an imposing image as he was lit from below by some funky red lights while a strong white backlight outlined his figure.

	KNAC.COM - Reviews - Brandt Bjork & The Operators Self-Titled (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This self-titled sophomore solo effort from Fu Manchu/Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age cohort Brant Bjork is a surprisingly strong and diverse effort and is one of the rare instances where a drummer has made an album where the drums take a backseat to the material.
		Though the credits read “Brant Bjork and the Operators” this is basically one-man show, with Bjork singing, and playing guitar, bass and drums, only sometimes joined by friends for the occasional lead guitar solo or backing vocal.
		Bjork mixes metal riffing with new wavey hooks and smokey funk with ease, sounding both retro and fresh at the same time.

	Brant Bjork Album Reviews
		Brant Bjork and the Operators certainly has its merits (a great, warm sound, strong playing, diversity, a cover that has to be a pun on Cheech and Chong’s Wedding Album, considering the similarity in dress code/attitude), but the songs aren’t always the beneficiaries, and some were probably more fun to make than to listen to.
		Gone are the hesitant pop pretensions of Brant Bjork and the Operators and so is most of the noodling that some of his earlier songs contained.
		You won't hear a negative word about Bjork coming out of my mouth - he was a sweet guy when I spoke to him earlier this year and delivered one of the best gigs I've seen the past years - but I really feel he could've been better this time around.

	music-reviewer.com - June, 2002 - Brant Bjork and the Operators
		Light years forward from the more pensive "Jalamanta" release, BB and TO's range far and wide to throw back to seventies' Funk, Punk, Jazz and Post-modernism, closely tuned to the likes of Costello, The Cars, and double-Z with an extra degree of flange to radiate the fuzz.
		Pick hits include, "My Ghettoblaster," and "Joey's Radio," both similarly structured and "panoramic," the latter recalling the passing of Joey Ramone for whom the album is dedicated.
		Bjork's grown as a musician and here he borrows from a wide sphere of influences to spin a flavorful new dynamic that belies Stoner predilection and highlights his individualist vision.

		Drummer Brant Bjork had been performing at local gigs since the age of thirteen and in 1989 began work on Kyuss' debut album: Wretch.
		While Bjork was involved with the newly formed Queens of the Stone Age (QotSA) he opted to join Fu Manchu, a band for which he had produced albums in the past, who he describes as his "old surf buddies".
		It is expected to be followed by a Nick Oliveri album and possibly another Mondo Generator record (although Brant Bjork has hinted that he may well not be on their next release).

		As drummer/composer for Fu Manchu and the mighty Kyuss, Brant Bjork has been one of the stoner/desert rock scene's unsung heroes for nearly a decade.
		Bjork joins the elfin singer there for the cosmic come-on "Captain Lovestar," perhaps the record's quintessential track.
		Bjork fairly jettisons any baggage that comes from his previous bands, trading in Sabbath/Purple hard rock for a seriously sexy psychedelic groove.

	Brant Bjork - Somera Sol (w/ The Bros) Review from Music Emissions
		Sure, "stoner rock" is probably not the most relevant genre today but it doesn't prevent Bjork and his crew from creating one of the coolest albums of the genre.
		Brant never yells and in fact has quite a great singing voice, even if it's not that dynamic.
		While Brant Bjork may be more obscure than one of his former band-mates projects Queens Of The Stone Age, I would argue that Somera Sol would have a much broader appeal to music fans.

		Granted Bjork also has the luxury of state of the art recording technology at her beck and call to mutate and accommodate any sound (directly from a human source or otherwise) into something altogether unrecognizably different (and decidedly non-human sounding) for her sonic pallette.
		Brant Bjork (he's the former sticksman of both Kyuss and Fu Manchu) presents his second solo disc.
		Lyrically, Brant sometimes approaches the lowest common denominator realm of Foreigner's "Hot Blooded", though we suspect his words are really meant as Andrew W.K. or Tenacious D style ironic humor.

		He was the original skins-pounder for Kyuss, a legend in stoner-rock circles, and his musical association with fellow Kyuss members Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri subsequently extended (briefly) to Queens of the Stone Age and (for a longer haul) Oliveri's solo project, Mondo Generator.
		Bjork's new platter, Local Angel, on the independent Duna imprint, is a real departure from his previous work -- a song cycle so quiet and personal that he's likely to perform it in a solo-acoustic format during a future tour.
		Like Homme and Oliveri, Bjork is tirelessly inventive and loves to spread his creative seeds.
