Slughog was a noise rock band from Boston that first formed in 1990. By the mid 1990’s, the group had developed a strong cult following for their heavy, loud sound. After releasing three singles, a split single and two albums, Slughog ended up disbanding in 1998. Most of the members would go on to form other underground bands, with the most noteworthy being bassist Andrew Schneider, who immediately afterwards formed the cult group Barbaro.
