Slash Mercer The Sound Shed Boys

Classic metal and sludge. Covers you know, originals you won't forget. Built loud in the shed, played harder on stage.

Straight from the shed

The Music

Riffs with rust on them. The Boys grind classic metal and sludge into something that smells like sawdust, solder and burnt tubes: heavyweight covers stacked against originals written between the amp stacks.

Who's making that racket

The Band

It started in an actual shed: four players, one bare bulb, and a stack of classic metal records worn down to the static. The Sound Shed Boys play the heavy stuff the way it was built: slow where it hurts, fast where it counts, and loud everywhere.

Sets pull from the classic metal canon alongside the band's own sludge originals. Parties, clubs, bars, and yes, bar mitzvahs. If it has a power outlet and a tolerant landlord, the Boys will play it.

Full band story coming from the Boys themselves: history, hometown and war stories to be added.

Torch Taylor, vocals: long dark hair, aviator sunglasses, leather jacket
Slash Mercer, guitar: long blond hair and a thousand-yard stare
Rusty Reaper, bass: silver-maned with a chrome cross pendant
Steel Sentinel, drums: shaved head, round shades, studded leather

Names and instruments as printed on the band's own lineup artwork.
