Hey Colossus are as big as their name suggests. Musically that is, not in terms of waistline. Comprising two ex members of Stanton, one former member of I'm Being Good, a former member of Yeast and a current member of econoline, they play stoner rock with a dark, metallic edge. Or something; basically they play loud rock music with plenty of shouting in it, and they play it well. Nice.
