about

From the grimy booze-soaked gutters of Portland, Oregon, Sidewalk Slam plays insurgent punk thrash fit for circle pits and working class revolutions. A double-guitar attack, howling vocals, and a speed-driving rhythm section create chaos-driven anthems of rage, revolution, and degeneracy. Starting in 2014 and named after the loko-in-a-40 beverage that fuels their musical mayhem, Sidewalk Slam released their first album, “Still Undefeated,” a year later, and quickly developed a following in the thriving Pacific Northwest basement show and punk club scene for their unhinged live act which frequently devolved into an onslaught of swirling bodies and bruises.

With original members bringing talents and experience from various punk acts, including The Insignificunts, Black Bag Operation, and The Spins, the first four-piece lineup included Justin on guitar, Ryan on bass, Devin on vocals, and Amber on drums, with Sloan joining soon after on co-lead vocals. Gob from Puke ‘N Rally joined on drums soon after “Still Undefeated” was released, and Kelly from Arcana joined on as a second guitarist while a rotating cast of bass players contributed including Joey, Chris, Weston, and Jaime until Andy joined in 2018. As they continued to play out, and as their sound evolved from a raw streetpunk sound into a full-fledged thrash punk attack, their message also evolved. Themes of booze-filled debauchery now stood side by side with system-smashing anthems and fash-bashing sing-alongs.

Fighting through tragedy, with their beloved lead singer Devin passing away in 2019 and their beloved drummer Gob passing away in 2020, the band emerged from the ruins and fired back with “The Devil’s Work Is Never Done” in May 2021, their no-holds-barred sound simmering with wild energy, fury, and fire. The current lineup’s live show is a start-to-finish audio assault, with Jose’s air-raid style vocals piercing through a thrash rage onslaught and Jon from Rum Rebellion’s lightning-speed lockstep drumming holding it all together. Drawing from a diverse background of punk, metal, thrash, and oi playing experience and influences, and bonded by deep friendships and a dedication to keeping the spirit of their fallen brothers alive through the power of thrash, Sidewalk Slam is an emerging musical force to reckon with.
