Slumped
Slumped are an alternative rock band from Oakland, Ca with similarities to bands like Weezer, The Rentals, and newer bands like Webbed Wing. About the band, California’s Slumped is an alternative rock band formed in 2017 as part of the burgeoning indie scene of the east Bay Area. With a throw back sound to 90s fuzzed out power pop, alt-rock, and grunge-pop, and informed as much by the tone and engaging songwriting of bands like Weezer, The Rentals, Third Eye Blind and Everclear as they are by more contemporary acts like Superheaven, Webbed Wing and Tony Molina, Slumped plays loud fuzzed out catchy rock music - full stop. Driven by screaming refrigerator guitar amps and distortion pedals, thundering drums, and roaring bass, the band’s “heavy pop songs” sound like they’re 100 stories tall, both on and off record. Existing somewhere between Weezer’s Pinkerton and Thin Lizzy’s Black Rose, Slumped is the perfect soundtrack for driving very fast into the sunset while bawling your eyes out.
