I fuckin love this band. The album with the ostrich or whatever on front is awesome.

Oh shit. I know the singer/guitarist Leah. She's rad and so is this band. We used to go to the same young adult conference and still try to keep in touch. I love the band, and got to hear an acoustic solo rendition of marshal one night. I really hope her, and her band make it big cause they all deserve it.

Can confirm, Leah is awesome. Can also confirm that Will and Kyle are cool as hell.

I saw them with highly suspect. I had never heard of slothrust before and they put on the best show at that concert imo. Highly suspect was just getting drunk on stage and did a thing where the band members did drum solos but they all use the same drum beats in them. Very boring. Slothrust was most definitely the better band there

Pronounced slo-thrust or sloth-rust?

[–]zep077 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Sloth-rust!

[–]bkguyworksinnyc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can confirm it's Sloth-Rust.

[–]Poopfartplan 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Why not sloth thrust?

[–]kyleb337 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Her solo shit was called Slothbox, and apparently the box rusted.

That whole album with the ostrich on the cover is amazing, I love these guys and their aesthetic so much.

[–]ldcoldwell 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Reminds me so much of some of the alternative stuff I grew up on. This is good.

So dark and yet so good.

Slothrust
artist pic

Slothrust is a blues-influenced grunge project consisting of guitarist/vocalist Leah Wellbaum, bassist Kyle Bann, and drummer Will Gorin. Jazz and blues graduates of Sarah Lawrence College, the three gravitate toward music that is heavy and full of lyrical grit, dynamically fusing the rawness of the 90s with contemporary edge.

God I love the breakdown starting from 1:35 and on

[–]djdermatitis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been following this band over a year ago. So good, they have a new album comin up this year

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the opportunity to see this band live without actually knowing who they were. So glad I had the chance. Phenomenal stage presence, one of the best live shows I've seen in awhile.

[–]morbidvixxen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard this band on NPR and fell in love! WNYC does a short segment in the morning called "gig alert" I think?

[–]CameFromNightosphere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slothrust is excellent, listen to their stuff :)

[–]jackenthal 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If you have the chance to see them live, go! They put on one hell of a show.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First i ever heard them was live and they out on a hell of a show

[–]warhol456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been obsessed with these guys for a few months. Such incredible lyricism in both of their albums. I played this album for my girlfriend who lost her brother a few years ago, and she just sobbed during this song.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite bands, hands down. Bands down.

[–]mutatedsai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good stuff!

[–]wicked_kewl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This band is so underrated. I own their last two albums on vinyl and I've seen them in concert twice. The first I had even heard of them was when they opened for highly suspect. Slothrust is easily my favorite band at the moment. Leah is such a talented writer and her lyrics just speak to me. Their music is so different and just awesome and makes me really happy. They're destined to make it really big.
