LOWER SLAUGHTER

Having ploughed through the UK underground for nearly a decade, 2024 saw Sussex-by-the-sea’s Lower Slaughter unexpectedly return after an extended hiatus, with a shift in personnel, a new line-up & all-new music!

With previous singer Sinead Young having parted ways amicably with the group sometime after the release of their second album ‘Some Things Take Work’, former bass player Barney Wakefield has now switched to vocal duties, with new addition James Gardiner taking over on bass guitar.

The guitar and drums set-up remains the same, with Jon Wood and Graham Hebson respectively back to position to complete Lower Slaughter “v3.0”!

The first recorded output under their new guise is an upcoming 7″ EP to be announced v v soon – a glimpse into both where the band have found themselves in pastures now, and also what is to follow, with their upcoming third album already in the can and due for release later on in 2025!

“One of the most unique noise rock bands to have appeared in the past five years.” The Quietus

“Ferocious, riff-heavy, angry punk!” Huw Stephens

“This is catharsis in youthful noise.” Loud & Quiet

“Politically and socially conscious, but it’s also an absolute blast.” All Music

TERSE AFFECTION
“Country Goth” initially comes across like a healthy disdain for generic categorisation. But it turns out to be a pretty close description of this project from Sealings’ Michael Cotter. Here his music echoes the wonky darkness of artists like The Cramps and Women/Cindy Lee, and imagines them jamming in the shadows under a disco ball in front of an audience of extras from David Lynch movies. “ – Brighton source
