Slap Rash

Made up of siblings Amelia (Drums/Vocals) and Huw Lloyd (Bass), and citing influences METZ, 7 Year Bitch, Lightning Bolt and TOOL, the duo sustain their deft uncompromising and experimental blend of punk and hardcore on their latest single Chokeheld, where cannoning riffs explode and splutter via doom-laden intros and a jazzed-up leftfield, synth-wrangling breakdowns.

An incessant live fixture too, the duo have toured the UK with Mandy, Indiana, sold out Manchester’s White Hotel (250 Cap), opening all the while for various like-minded noisemongers – DITZ, The Psychotic Monks, Maruja, Show Me The Body and Humour, and
performed at Manchester Psych Fest two years running.

“Please go see Slap Rash live… their songs are so full of energy, but it takes it to another level seeing the duo performing live. Recommended highly” – Nathan Shepherd (BBC Radio 6Music)

I Create Deathrays

Two happy-go-mental lads from Darwen, Blake and Thomas’ neverending quest for good songs, great comics and decent drinks.
