The Sleazoids are a blistering garage punk 3-piece band from Sheffield, and are a bit like if The Cramps and The Fall merged with Bikini Kill! The band features Missy Tassles on trash guitar and vocals, Paul Dorrington on hi-tension bass and vocals with Mitch Genner beating primitive rhythms. We love playing loud music, drinking booze, and having a good time. We try to keep all our songs as short and fast as possible. See a recent gig review from Louder Than War.
Our debut album ‘INSANE ESCAPADES’, released by Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation, has been reviewed by Shindig magazine as:
“a whole heap o’ terror-ific rockin’ sounds from the 50s, 60s and 70s…provocatively cool… are performed with all-out, often giddy abandon… all demonstrating some properly fine punk potential, as well as showing off a wicked sense of fun.” – SHINDIG MAGAZINE
Our second LP ‘THE CULT OF THE SLEAZOIDS, released by Spinout Nuggets, has been reviewed by Louder Than War as:
“Stripped down and grating the senses, full of attack and drive, gouging and gyrating in equal measure…a great blend of proto-punk Stooges-style attack, that fuzz through the floor sound that cranks and drives most of the songs…Primitive, proto, and primed for action, the new album by The Sleazoids sees them further cement the ideas from their debut. There’s no pretence, just pure love of trash-garage.” – LOUDER THAN WAR
Both are available NOW from our Bandcamp page! We have other merch available like tshirts, prints, badges and stickers also!
The band’s stage performances are an electrifying mix of rock solid musicianship and joyously shambolic punk attitude. A machine gun delivery of 2-minute garage punk songs are fired out in quick succession leaving audiences shell-shocked and aching for more.
