I crawled into bed around 1 in the morning and decided to check my email one more time before slipping off to dreamland. I had no idea I would be greeted by the subject line: New release from SLOTHRUST.

Every couple of years our ears are gifted a great offering from Slothrust. Their third album, The Pact, comes out this Friday.

Their opening set for Highly Suspect was enough to make my week. They played a bunch of stuff off their awesome new record Everyone Else, including one … Continue reading Slothrust at Bottom Lounge 11/18/2016
It’s been a couple years since I was singing the praises of Slothrust’s debut, Of Course You Do. That grungy instant classic ended up in my top 10 of 2014, and the band’s latest release is looking to repeat or better that offering. Everyone Else improves in almost every conceivable way over Of Course You Do. Leah Wellbaum’s guitar sounds better, the lyrics are better, … Continue reading Slothrust-Everyone Else
