1.Loud and intense greetings from Peru,Johnny hows going the things in Gorilla?
Johnny - Cheers mate and a big hello to all Peruvian rockers!! Gorilla still going strong, regular UK gigs, and a recent split LPs with UK rockers Grifter, 4 tracks each per side!
Johnny - Me and bass player Sarah Gorilla had just left the Morticians and wanted to do a full on heavy 3 piece band that had super loud to heavy dynamics and encompassed all our favourite bands, Sabbath, Budgie, Grand Funk, Blue Cheer, Fu Manchu etc, maximum fuzz, riffs and heaviness with a big 70's influence!
3.Actual discography from Gorilla?
Johnny - We did our 1st self titled and 2nd 'Gimme Some...' LPs at Toerag Studios in London, and our 3rd lp 'Rock Our Souls' followed. A split 7inch with Italian band OJM, as well as a couple of tracks on compilation albums, and as I mentioned, the split album with Grifter which came out last year!
4.Heavy and raw influences?
Johnny - All the bands mentioned above plus many more, you can guess from the music we play. We love 70's rock and also 60's bands like the Who, the Move, Pretty Things and some garage and psychedelic music, punk like theMC5 and Stooges, Motörhead and many more!

6.Explain some more about the rock stoner doom scene from your city? recommend some bands...
Johnny - There really is no stoner/doom scene where we live, for many, many years we were the only band here playing our kind of music, which is why we played more outside of our home town than any other band. We wanted to compete with the world not the local scene!!
Now things are better, Wytch Pycknyk and Wizard Fight are 2 very good heavy bands from Hastings worth checking out!
7.You know the rock stoner doom scene from Southamerica?
Johnny - Sadly I know nothing of the south American scene!! Please enlighten me!!!
