Bongzilla is an American stoner metal band that formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1995. They released their debut extended play, Mixed Bag, the following year through Rhetoric Records. Much of Bongzilla's lyrics are centered around cannabis use and similar themes.[2] Following a six-year hiatus, the band reformed in 2015 and embarked upon a North American tour.[3] The band's most recent album, Weedsconsin, was released in 2021 through the label Heavy Psych Sounds. Weedsconsin was Bongzilla's first new release in sixteen years.[4]
