Refuse Records & Bookings presents:
BODY FARM/SLUTBOMB
European tour 2025
BODY FARM (Rust Belt, OH/PA, USA)
Body Farm started with the simple goal of trying to play as fast as possible. Their first lineup with members Ocean, Erek, Alex, and Steven met on vocals, guitar, bass, and drums to produce two 7” releases, a split and an EP. Body Farm continued their devoted output and performance schedule, recording demos on lathe cuts and tapes that would become a 12” EP called Living Hell. After touring for Living Hell, Ocean and Erek moved to Pittsburgh, splitting the band’s location with Columbus. With 2023 marking Body Farm’s first show as partial PA residents, 2024 would bring new bassist, Darrell. Vocally, Ocean draws on X-Ray Spex, Plasmatics, and Alice Bag, providing a reverb drenched holler that effectively is their calling card. There is a specificity in Body Farm’s songs that sets them apart from their peers, and you hear it as soon as you press play.

SLUTBOMB (Cincinatti, Ohio, USA)
“For over 40 years, hardcore punk’s devotees have been trying to reimagine, improve upon, and one up the sound first pioneered by the genre’s forebears in the late 70s and early 80s. By the 1990s, hardcore had evolved from a violent reaction to rock’s perceived stagnation into a well-defined form whose breadth, intensity, and speed had well surpassed the blueprint laid by its founders. Cincinnati, OH natives SlutBomb are carrying on in that rich tradition, both nodding at and upping the ante on hardcore punk’s four decades of musical innovation.
Like 90s fastcore stalwarts Los Crudos, Charles Bronson, or European heavyweights Seein’ Red, SlutBomb combines their staunchly leftist politics with breakneck blast beats, incisive lyrics, and just enough mosh parts to keep the blood pumping. Crystal clear, precise guitar leads call to mind the surf-informed stylings of Dead Kennedys, while unrelenting blasts evoke the proto-grindcore of Siege. With eight releases, several US tours, and an Australian tour under their belt since 2017, the band has spent 5 incredibly productive years honing their razor sharp brand of political fastcore.”
