Lower Slaughter Brighton

Lower Slaughter live in Brighton at The Hope & Ruin on Friday 13th June! Get tickets above, or from SeeTickets.

Having ploughed through the UK underground for over a decade, Sussex-by-the-sea’s Lower Slaughter unexpectedly returned in 2024 after an extended hiatus, with a shift in personnel, a new line-up & all-new music, which has now emerged within the form our brand new album ‘Deep Living’ out in June 2025! The four piece once described themselves modestly as a band “who make loud riffs” though The Quietus description of “lurching noise-rock that occasionally works the angles but is chiefly a showpiece for big fuck-off riffs that call to mind Pissed Jeans, Nirvana and Harvey Milk” may be more accurate, and most certainly still holds true now.

Since their debut album release in 2017, the band has garnered high praise from the likes of BBC Radio 1 & BBC 6Music, The Quietus, Artrocker (no.1 album of 2019), All Music, Loud & Quiet and Flush The Fashion, as well as finding fans among the likes of BBC Radio 6 presenter Shaun Keaveny, BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens & cult comedy legend Stewart Lee, whilst also sharing stages with such bands as Pigs x7, Melt Banana, JOHN, Ditz, No Age, Part Chimp, The Men, Hey Colossus, USA Nails, Sex Swing, Gnod, among many others! https://lowerslaughter.bandcamp.com/album/all-the-day-long-b-w-motions
