Listed as "Stoner Rock" on Amazon... they have a cool sound.

They remind me a bit of The Sword (not as heavy), which would also fall under the "Stoner Rock" label. As near as I can tell, "Stoner Rock" means any relatively heavy band that uses fuzz and talk at least somewhat about weed.

They're one of Frankenfretter's favorite bands IIRC. I always knew stoner rock as Kyuss / QOTSA, so I generally assumed it was the droniness and downtuned guitars (without playing metal riffs) that defined that genre. To marnold's point though, I think heavy music with fuzz pedals has a lot to do with it too.
I've listened to a couple of their albums and liked them.

It's become another of those genre labels that once referred to something fairly specific (like the bands you cited) but now becomes a catch-all for many things with similar elements. Find any band that utilizes drones and/or fuzz boxes and somewhere there's a review that labels them "stoner rock."
At this point, everything may as well be labelled "post-everything."
That's actually one element I've not encountered as a common aspect of bands that get that tag.
Their sound varies a bit from album to album but some of their stuff is quite good. In fact, some of the better stuff is really more outright blues-rock than stoner rock (by any of its varied definitions).
