Stoner/Doom fans with an adversion to gruff vocals, or any vocals at all, should check out Bongripper from Chicago.
All these dudes work like regular IT jobs, and self record, produce and tour (throughout the world) on their own dime. They refuse to sign with a label to keep it their own despite labels lining up to sign them.
The Bongripper name is a spoof/nod to Sleep's Dopesmoker album.
EDIT: I actually have a pair of Bongripper sweatpants
