Slothrust

Slothrust is an American alternative rock band that was formed in 2010. Comprised of vocalist and guitarist Leah Wellbaum, bassist Kyle Bann, and drummer Will Gorin, the trio met while they were studying at Sarah Lawrence College. Their name "Slothrust" is a playful portmanteau that combines "sloth" with "thrust", hinting at the band's idiosyncratic nature and dynamic contrasts within their music. Slothrust is known for blending heavy, grungy rock with Wellbaum's bluesy guitar riffs and sardonic lyrics, creating a sound that is at once familiar and refreshingly original.

Since their formation, Slothrust has been steadily building a reputation for their potent blend of genres and their compelling live performances. The singer Wellbaum’s enigmatic stage presence and the band’s intricate musicianship have garnered a loyal following. Their most recent releases, including "Cranium" and "Parallel Timeline," showcase the band's evolution over the past decade, incorporating more intricate arrangements and experimental sounds without losing the raw energy that defines them. The track "The Next Curse" exemplifies their continued exploration of different theme and tonalities. With a growing discography that chronicles their journey, Slothrust continues to make waves in the indie rock scene, captivating listeners with their off-kilter riffs and thought-provoking lyrics.
