Slothrust - Of Course You Do (2014)

2014 release from the Brooklyn-based band led by singer/songwriter Leah Wellbaum. Slothrust is a band of musicians from the Jazz/Blues tradition who sound nothing like Jazz musicians playing Rock. Beneath the know-how, their aesthetic is Punk as fuck. How perfect, right? You get the zap without the Zappa, not a lot of Yes but a load of Oh Hell Yeah! Slothrust's musicianship sneaks up on you, because the first thing that grabs you is how insanely catchy these songs are. Then you realize that it all comes down to the fact that they play fearlessly and full of tenacity. Rock 'n' roll.
