Slugfeast is a 3 piece noise rock band from Sacramento and the bay area, seeking to combine sensitive lyrical storytelling with hard-hitting riffs and sludgy, jagged texture. The music of Slugfeast is deeply convicted and rooted in our own experience dealing with themes of grief, love, and mania. The guitar playing of Alejandro Magallàn will have you shedding a tear before ripping your face off, while Claire Tauber's vocals and bass playing hit you right in the heart. The drumming of Lucas Wieser ties it all together, projecting a visceral, forceful and fundamental energy. Slugfeast is for the self.
