_“A roaring, metallic train wreck of an effort. Surprisingly melodic, the songs 
are pushed along violently by the two guitars of Matt Thomas and Cody Shavers and
the wallop of drummer Genovez. classic examples of American hardcore punk. Bracingly
loud, the songs show the influence of such acts as the Ramones, Black Flag and Motorhead.”-_**_

_Single Art_

Dallas, TX, **Sloth Fist** are a 5 piece punk/rock ‘n’ roll band that combine the
melodic sense of **Descendents** and **Teenage Bottlerocket** with the fierceness
of bands like **Motorhead** and **Turbonegro**. The result is an eclectic mix of
songs that will satisfy anyone who likes their music hard and heavy, but still catchy
with hooks galore.

With lyrics written mainly during the pandemic, the band’s upcoming EP **‘Bombs 
Away’** (out October 7 on **Mindpower Records**) takes a much darker turn than past
efforts.

The band describes the 3rd single, **“Face / Off”** as, _“a retelling of the hit
1997 film starring Nicholas Cage and John Travolta. Relive all the excitement, the
drama, and the boat chases in this ripper!”_

**Upcoming show** 
Oct 23 – Three Links, Dallas TX **w/Agent Orange**

**About Sloth Fist:** 
The brainchild of songwriter / vocalist **Eric Daniels (Bullet
Machine, Black Habits, Responsible Johnny)**, Sloth Fist also features **Rafael 
Genovez (Responsible Johnny)** on drums, **Marc Maxey (Justice League, The Killing
Flame)** on bass, **Matt Thomas (Slave One, Neighborhood Villain, Bullet Machine)**
on guitar, and **Cody Shavers (Blanche Davidians)** on guitar.

Sloth Fist formed in 2018 and quickly began playing shows around the DFW metroplex,
including a show at the legendary Three Links in Deep Ellum with Japan’s Mugen Hoso.
Daniels, Genovez, and Maxey recorded and released their debut EP, “Live Slow, Die
Whenever” in late 2018 as a 3 piece.

Soon after the EP release, Matt Thomas was recruited on guitar and the band played
a handful of shows as a 4 piece, including a show with Boston’s **Moving Targets**
with both Daniels and Thomas on guitar. With Daniels’ desire to put down his guitar
and focus on vocals, the band recruited guitarist Alex Casanova to round out the
lineup. More shows followed with the likes of heavy metal legends **Thor,** and **
Dag Nasty** spinoff **Field Day**. These 5 hit the studio in late 2019 to record
the “Mothman is Real” LP. Twelve blistering tracks were mixed by **Andrew Berlin**
at **The Blasting Room** in CO and mastered by **Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust).**

Four videos were released from the LP including one for “Sloth Fist Will Be Annihilated”,
filmed in quarantine times, with each member shooting their own footage at their
homes and / or practice space. For the end however, dozens of fans and friends submitted
their own videos of themselves singing along to the song’s end chant “Live Slow,
Die Whenever – SLOTH FIST”. Some notable faces include **Jeff Caudill (Gameface)**
and **Peter Cortner (Dag Nasty / Field Day)**. The debut 12” LP/CD hit stores and
digital outlets in June 2020 via Mindpower Records.

Following the departure of Casanova due to a relocation to VA, the band entered 
Café Solo Studios in Denton, TX to record the follow-up EP, “Bombs Away”. Eight 
new songs were recorded that take more of a turn towards hard rock, the record lacks
any of the hardcore punk beats that showed up on a few tracks on “Mothman is Real”,
instead focusing on mid-tempo driving songs with a more refined songwriting approach.
The lead single, “Cut Through It” will be followed by several more leading up to
the October 7 release of the EP.

Following the recording of “Bombs Away”, Cody Shavers was added on 2nd guitar to
resume the 5 piece live experience. Shows are booked throughout the summer including
opening slots for both **Gameface** and **Agent Orange**, and tours are currently
in the planning stages.
