Earthless is the brainchild of Mario Rubalaba. A prolific drummer, Mario has worn the alias of Ruby Mars during his stint with Rocket From The Crypt, went on to bang away for the Hot Snakes, previously was a member of Black Heart Procession and prior to that, Mario was a member of Tony Alva's Alva Team Skateboarding crew. Earthless' sound is so far-reaching they're already being asked to play with a wide sweep of artists including Mastodon, Big Business, The Fucking Champs, Nebula and High On Fire.

The trio, based out of San Diego, met through mutual friends and a fondness for under the radar record collections. Mario explains how the band connected, "We discovered a mutual admiration for a lot of Japanese psychedelic hard rock bands- as well as primitive 60's garage music. After combing over each other's record collections and lending out records, we came upon the idea of,"Lets specifically start a Japanese-Psychedelic-Heavy-Kraut-Rock-Band. With the Japanese bands it was always a really kind of heavy, blues, twisted take on Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin. Isaiah is an awesome guitar, seeing him play just sealed the deal.
