Slug - Demo (2021)


If you love hardcore, these are four minutes of your life you definitely won’t ask for back. And if you’re like me, once you burn through the four minute-long tracks of Slug's Demo, you’ll start it all over again, and again, and again, and dream about how great a pit this would inspire. Savage beats, ripping power chords, chunky grooves, this band makes me wanna go to Cleveland, the tourism bureau oughta bow down and kiss their feet, or at least give them a van and some gas so they can come play a show here in New York. My favorite track is “Grow a Spine,” bursting with in-your-face, confrontational energy, as the singer growls, “I might be a slug but you're a fucking rat, you wear too many faces, a coward will never last, keep hiding in different places.” I was shaking my fist and singing along by the time the second chorus came around.
