Sonic Flower were formed as a side project of Church of Misery in 2001. Tatsu Mikami (bass) and at that time Church?s guitarist Takenori Hoshi (guitar on Church of Misery?s second album The Second Coming), teamed up to play more bluesy and non doomy taste instrumental heavy rock. They were influenced by famous ?70s heavy rock bands like Cactus, Grand Funk Railroad, Groundhogs, Savoy Brown, etc. Soon female guitarist ?Arisa? and drummer Keisuke Fukawa joined the band. In 2003, they released the self-titled debut album Sonic Flower on Japanese Heavy rock label, Leafhound Records. All instrumental bluesy heavy rock and improvised double guitar, they got a tons of good response from all over the world. They also played some shows as support for some foreign band's Japan appearance like Electric Wizard, Bluebird (Amen's side project), Acid King, etc. In 2005 they went to studio for new recordings. At that time the band has some problems and after the recording quit. So, these recordings were long years sleeping in the vault. Totally unreleased studio materials. In 2018 Tatsu decided to re-form the band. He has already tons of new songs. This time he teamed up with old Church singer and his old friend.

Sonic Flower's new album Me And My Bellbottom Blues is full of '70s feelings. It's heavy but more bluesy taste than ever. New guitarist Fumiya Hattori is a young bluesman. He uses slide bar and acoustic guitar too. His guitar style's width is huge. Regarding songwriting, of course Tatsu Mikami wrote the songs, as always. A not only heavy but also "down to earth" feeling. You can also enjoy tons of riffs by this riff master. New drummer Toshiaki Umemura made a heavy and groovy sound. The biggest difference from the previous album the singer on this album. Kazuhiro Asaeda, the original Church Of Misery singer, sang in their early release Vol.1. Mixed by Japanese doom guru Yukito Okazaki (Eternal Elysium).
