Slothrust-4_

This three-piece grunge revivalist group are often compared to Sonic Youth and Nirvana, but lead singer Leah Wellbaum’s charismatic lyrics and on-stage ferocity make them a band of their own. Also in the same vein as fellow Brooklyn risers Sharkmuffin, Wellbaum sings on universal themes (alienation and awkwardness, for example), but she does in a way that brings harder punk lovers together with guitar rock (and indie rock) fiends. We fit into the latter category, but we love their 2014 release “Feels Your Pain” nonetheless. They gear up for a month long tour supporting fellow alt-punk rockers Cymbals Eat Guitars later this month .

Slothrust, blend hazy reverb and thrashy perfection to crafted perfection. Lead singer Leah Wellbaum has a big, bell-like quality to her voice, played against deceptively intricate guitar work with a driving rhythm section.
