The Tony Slug Experiece

s/t

(Suburban Records/Wap Shoo Wop Records/Alternative Tentacles)

Damnable throat cancer claimed beloved Amsterdam stage-stalker Tony in 2023. Through years of studio-toil and road-doggery with various assemblages on the international underground circuit, he had amassed a miniature army of like-outlooked confederates who today harbor admiring recollections.

A New Noise memorium observed: "Shortly before Slug's illness, he was working on The Tony Slug Experience, his first solo album of 12 new songs, with a slew of friends making contributions..."

Too numerous for cataloging here are the fellow bomb-throwers who so terrorized studio technology. Their number counts among stalwarts Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra, Happy Tom of Turbonegro, Poison Idea's Jerry A., Nicke Andersson of the Hellacopters, and more. That should by itself be sufficient to enflame purchaser zeal.

Common throughout are Tony's wily songcraft-pen, destruction-chording, and careening treble squawkings of calamitous caliber. Indeed, the entirety rages spectacularly.

(Note: The limited supply of 12" vinyl incarnations was immediately exhausted. Fortunately, The Tony Slug Experience can still be got in digital aspect.)
