we - SLUDGEFEAST (or 'the Feast' to our friends) hail from the British seaside resort of Bournemouth. we play stupidly overdriven, fuzzed-out rock'n'roll in the manner taught to us by our Jet-Rock forefathers the mighty Guitar Wolf (amongst others) and we play it at a kind of unsafe volume. we release records on the Must Destroy label (www.mustdestroymusic.com) former home to The Darkness and also home to the likes of Do Me Bad Things, Feable Weiner, The Agenda and Computerman (to name but a few) here in the UK.
aside from all that, we live for video games and intense alcohol consumption.
our latest 'mesterpiece' VIRTUA-ROCK is in stores NOW! (buy it, buy it!)... for those who need something nice (or not so nice) to look at, Virtua-Rock comes with a bonus full length DVD featuring a shit-load of videos and live shit... plus a mini-documentary entitled DISASTOUR.
did we mention you should buy it?
nice to meet you.
WHAT THE PRESS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE 'FEAST :::::
'Like the rotten apple at the bottom of the barrel, it seems that Sludgefeast's sole purpose is to infect everything in close proximity with their putrefying power. Such reliance on filtering everything - and we mean everything - through a thick layer of scuzzy crunch and woofer-worrying bassness even threatens to outstrip kindred maverick spirits Royal Trux on the odd occasion'
NME
"Sludgefeast deal In fucked up, fuzzed up sludgey garage rock and play it the way it's supposed to be played - waaaaay too bleedin' loud"
(8/10) Metal Hammer
"the worst band in Bournemouth"
Bournemouth Evening Echo
"Sludgefeast simply refuse to pander to such essentially tedious concepts as taste, intelligence and competence"
The Indepenent
"about as original as the common cold"
Daily Mirror
"too heavy for me. Just about bearable due to the shortness of it all, but it'll never be played again"
