Biography

Slug Guts hail from the barren, heat stricken confines of Brisbane, Australia, a town as desolate as it is depressing and suburban. Slug Guts began when four degenerates had little else to do but form a band in the tradition of Pussy Galore, X (Australia not L.A.), and Birthday Party. In the first four months of the band Slug Guts recorded their first LP Down on the Meat which was released on Stained Circles Records (Jay Reatard, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Dirtbombs).

After numerous Australian tours and one Japanese tour playing alongside Lightning Bolt, Dead Meadow, Primitive Calculators, Flipper, and Eddy Current amongst others, the band went back into the studio and recorded this thirteen-song sophomore album, Howlin’ Gang. The LP was recorded in a railway carriage on the outskirts of Ipswich. Taking partial influence from Christian Death, The Scientists and The Triffids, this new LP sought to take a different direction than the harsh swamp rock which characterized their first release. Howlin’ Gang LP features a duet with Angela Bermuda (Circle Pit) and guest appearances by Sarah Spencer (Blank Realm). In this recording session Slug Guts also finished a split 7-inch with iconic Australian 1980’s experimentalists Primitive Calculators, which features both bands doing Primitive Calculator’s single “Ugly Pumping Muscle” and a third rendition which is Stuart Grant (Primitive Calculators) singing “Ugly Pumping Muscle” with Slug Guts live in Brisbane. We are proud to announce the US debut release from Brisbane’s finest dirge-e-mites.

    They sound A LOT like The Birthday Party, but not as chaotic and experimental.

    oh god, not that again. interpol sound nothing like joy division. lazy journalism at the time which somehow stuck and is now the accepted knowledge. slug guts do at least sound a lot like the birthday party.

    I'm really digging Playing In Time With The Deadbeat... except for that silly effect on the snare drum the whole damn time.

    Slug Guts’ play stomach-wrenching, swampy, gothic noise rock that owes much to fellow Australians the Birthday Party and the Scientists, as well as early Christian Death. Last year’s epic noise-rattled LP Howlin’ Gang on Sacred Bones was an ear-blistering effort that ought to have awoken fans looking for lost Swans albums/demos out of their stupor. Slug Guts’ new single is even better than that. Listen here: http://getbent.fm/post/23056924753/review-slug-guts-stranglin-you-too-7-ep

    this is bloody great! and to be honest, there are few better places to draw (massive amounts of) inspiration from than The Birthday Party. Sacred Bones is slowly becoming one of my favourite record labels.

    Just now listening to Slug Guts (properly) for the first time. From what I've heard so far (first album to halfway through their second), "Down in the Mornin' Sun" is their best track so far, IMO.
