SLEDGEBACK Biography
-Hungarian frontman Gabi Hun did not speak a word of English when he arrived in America less than five years ago. Since they formed in February 2004, Sledgeback has emerged with a very powerful sound. Lyrics include life experiences influenced by the European frontman's unique ideals, with which anyone can easily relate. Songs encourage the listener to move and sing along.-H.Wood 2004. -Sledgeback formed in April of 2004.Gaining a large following early in their career, Sledgeback have toured both locally, and nationally, playing in 2005's Vans Warped Tour and even opening for the likes of Flogging Molly to sold out crowds. With their first full length release "People's Choice" through Sliver Records, Sledgeback gained notoriety through bi coastal radio play and crowd pleasing shows do in large part to high intensity performances, while boasting powerfully raw, life inspired lyrics.In addition with their second release, "Perception Becomes Reality" and after a few line up changes in their brief history, the band features Gabi Hun (Vocals, Guitar), Kevin Past (Drums), Mike Parker (Bass), and most recently Guy Lacey (formely WAR BABIES/1992 Columbia Records)-C.Merrifield 2005 -One of the few newer bands that truly brings the traditional punk and roll from the west coast.Gabor Hun's raspy singing style is a trademark of the group, that haunts you with everyday heartbreaking stories. Several shift changes and harder than hard times,ups and downs, followed the band's life since it's beggining, but nothing has been able to stop and turn them away from their mission. Sledgeback unlike most similar groups,is standing the ground and playing unforgetable shows to their loyal fans without following other trends or new fashion statements.A classic group that can be an inspiration for everyone who lives under the sky of true rock and roll.-H.Wood 2006 -Seattle punk-rockers Sledgeback put a refreshing spin on an old theme with their full-length debut "People's Choice", powerfully combining the catchy hooks of West Coast punk with the raw angst of true old-school. With his raspy Hungarian snarl, frontman Gabor Hun brings his honest social ideals to melody with Ness-like charm. "People's Choice" truly delivers the goods.-C.Fondren 2004 -The follow-up release from Seattle Gut-rockers Sledgeback, this is the perfect sequel to their acclaimed debut (People’s Choice). Perception Becomes Reality contains the same great crunchy guitars and trademark gravel voice, but shows a heightened maturity in Gabor Hun’s songwriting. -C.Fondren 2006 Punk rock.Seattle.
