MeteorCity
MeteorCity Records is an American record label based in Idaho. MeteorCity was founded in 1997 by Jadd Shickler and Aaron Emmel in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With the release of its compilation album Welcome to MeteorCity showcasing young unsigned Kyuss-like bands, MeteorCity helped launch the stoner rock genre and many of the genre's first bands, plus side projects from members of well-known bands including The Atomic Bitchwax and Hermano. From 2007 through the present the label has been owned and operated by All That is Heavy as their in-house record label. All That is Heavy is the first online record store dedicated exclusively to Stoner rock, doom metal, sludge metal, drone metal and psychedelic rock.
History
MeteorCity was founded in September 1997 by Jadd Shickler (of band Spiritu) and Aaron Emmel in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The first incarnation was an online store called All That's Heavy, which sold hard-to-find releases by stoner rock bands Kyuss, Monster Magnet, and Fu Manchu. They soon expanded the catalog to include artists that stylistically fit with the first three bands.

Motorway City
by: HawkwindTurning star projections
Voices from the deep
Throbbing of the engines
You exit from the heat
Paper on the pavement
Cars crawling in the road
Emotion of the city
you ease your heavy load
A Motorway City,
Well it ain't the same
Lighting up the night sky,
With an orange flame
A Motorway City,
Well you exit on the right
Cruising on the highway,
When you're driving through the night
A Motorway City,
Well it ain't the same
Lighting up the night sky,
With an orange flame, with an orange flame
