  • Savage Brewtality leaks new song, “Wacky Shack”, from their debut LP “The Last Slice”!

    September 3rd 2010

    Gainesville, FL’s iconic party-thrash band, Savage Brewtality, is releasing their first LP entitled “The Last Slice”. The album was recorded on 4/20, mixed on 6/9 and consists of 12 songs about starting a party, how Jesus was the first zombie, the theme song to America’s Funniest Home Videos, a party barbarian, and many other thought-provoking topics.

    The LP artwork was illustrated by James Callahan of Barf Comics.

    “The Last Slice” will be released on LP/digital download on October 12th on FEST Records. This will be the first release on the newly formed label from the people who bring you THE FEST in Gainesville, FL. The album will be exclusively distributed by No Idea Records and comes with a digital download code.

    To celebrate, the band has leaked a song from the LP entitled “Wacky Shack”. You can head over to the band’s Myspace page to check it out.

    Guitarist Ryan Geis had this to say about the explanation of what exactly a “Wacky Shack” is:

    “Wacky Shack is when you take any amount ‘found’ objects and pile them up on a buddy who is passed the fuck out. Often referred to as a ‘shaming’, this version encourages the piling on of boxes, furniture, and other large objects. So when the victim wakes up, he/she finds himself/herself in some sort of shack that is wacky. One rule is that you can’t ‘Wacky Shack’ someone in their own bed. Another is: the victim must still be wearing their shoes. Another fun twist is to create a ‘hand sandwich’. Grab two pieces of bread, some cheese and an assortment of condiments. Carefully place the hand of the ‘Wacky Shack-ee’ between said bread, cheese and condiments. But be careful. Don’t wake the meat!”

    Savage Brewtality recently played the ninth installment of Best Friends Day in Richmond, VA. They got to share the stage with the likes of Municipal Waste, Propaghandi, and Andrew W.K. They have no tour plans as of now but will be performing on Halloween night as part of THE FEST 9 in Gainesville, FL.

    Savage Brewtality consists of members of Rehasher, Army of Ponch, and Religious as Fuck.
