Bay Area duo Smoakland brings its brand of classic dubstep to the Domino Room Friday.

At first glance, one might think a group called Smoakland bringing its “Smoke Sesh” tour to Bend would mean a night of stoner rap is on the horizon.

While that’s not terribly far off — there are beats involved here, as well as weed references — Smoakland is, in fact, a duo that plays throwback dubstep music, complete with chest-caving bass, wobbling synths and party-starting drops. (Their songs do occasionally feature rappers, to be clear.)

Smoakland is Anthony Battaglia and Harrison Hays, who met while they were both student athletes at Boise State University. They’re based in the Bay Area now, of course, and their new EP, “Smoke Sesh,” is an assault on the ears — in a good way. It’s very easy to imagine how good this stuff will sound booming inside the Domino Room.

Smoakland — Smoke Sesh Tour: 8 p.m. Friday, $25, Domino Room, 51 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend, midtownballroom.com.
