The slanderin was spawned in los angeles/hell on earth in late '99 by Christian Slander , Skunk Draino, Mauricio Arguetta & Everett Thompson (r.i.p) @ al's bar (r.i.p.) , the infamous punk bar in downtown L.A. They've toured with The Meteors , Mad Sin , Demented are Go , and shared the stage with the likes of tiger army , nekromantix and the horror pops. Fusing the raw jagged edge of original l.a. punk/death rock and the traditional american sound of rockabilly, the slanderin are a deadly force to be reckoned with!

This is pretty massive American psychobilly, with the distorted (garagerock) guitar sound and halfgrunt vocals. But unlike some other bands that have this style there still is some 'billy' to be found here. The overall mix is pretty good, although the distorted guitar is a little too fuzzy for my taste: it fucks up the dynamics in some songs. Tracks are well written though, most are fast but diverse enough to not get boring. It reminds me somewhat of The Batfinks. The melancholic "Deadmans Waltz" sounds kinda like a psycho version of Tom Waits and "Lost In Eternal Light" is similar to a Tiger Army ballad but with a lot more balls. Thirteen tracks that are worth checking out!
