BIOGRAPHY

THE STORY

SLUDGEDOWN is "the world's first Strand-Type® Band" formed in 2023 by SHUTDOWN (bandleader), HIRO (keys), and TYLER (guitar).

it was conceptualized as a joke over Discord, but hubris quickly propelled a few songs to be written, and after meeting up to record in person, these songs became the EP Limbo (2024).

passion projects take time (and money, which rarely comes our way), so after a tough writing process and lots of work recording over the internet, we released our second EP
Lilico (2025).

as of 2026, we are currently a two-piece, but hope to have lots of guests and stuff cause that's fun (contact us if you are interested!)
