Sick And Tired

Vinyl LP pressing. Los Angeles' Slaughterhouse are back at it with 5 brand new tracks of early 80's LA hardcore/death rock for the masses. Presented on a single sided 12 EP with etched B-side, Slaughterhouse are setting the tone for 2025 with what will no doubt be a fixture on best of the year lists. After a raucous 2024 Slaughterhouse wasted no time getting back in the studio with producer Cameron Webb (Motorhead, Alkaline Trio, Pennywise) to give the people more of what they've been clamoring for. Big plans, big sound, big screams and this EP and according to the band, is just the tip of the iceberg. Never one to rest on their laurels, Slaughterhouse continue to set the scene a fire and prove to everyone what anyone who's seen them live already knows... this band is the real deal and they can more than hold their own on any stage, with any line up. Like the best of early 80's LA punk bands Slaughterhouse definitely has something to scream. The opening salvo Sick and Tired, a song more personal to singer Meriel O'connell saying, You get a lot of people talking in your ear about what you should do, say, look like, how you should behave... I don't think we're put on this planet to try to make everyone happy or feel comfortable. If Sick and Tired speaks to the more personal side, DNA is, More of a larger scale * you to living in this cis, hetero, Euro-centrist, ableist, capitalist hellscape... isn't that cool?! If 4 new original songs weren't enough this Ep also features a blistering cover of Black Flag's My War. True to their LA roots and sound Slaughterhouse rips through a song with a version that should make Rollins proud but at the same time wholly their own.
