STIMULI is a heavy rock band founded by guitarist, vocalist & songwriter Jimmy Tomahawk in Oakland, California. Tomahawk weaves thoughtful observations of the human condition among his melodic, edgy voice and spacious to heavy guitar riffing. Bassist Tai Hake's solid and snarling tones and Cole Andrew's intricate and powerful drumming serve as a massive rhythmic foundation for this complex musical tapestry. STIMULI's first official full-length album titled They Are We is a winding 11-track explosion of the trio's dense, ambitious, and fiercely original sound. The album has garnered significant critical acclaim since it’s release.

Not only do STIMULI masterfully rock the traditional power trio format, the band also incorporates atmospherics and eclectic instrumentation that is not often associated with contemporary Hard Rock. Their music features Native American flute, sitar, acoustic guitar, theremin and ambient synthesizers. Lyrically, STIMULI’s themes possess a rare depth - insightful and meaningful, ruminating on personal experiences and reflections about peace, empathy, destiny, and self-actualization. Combined together, STIMULI have been called a thinking person’s rock band.
