about

The Slugs were founded in 1983 by Gregg Juhlin, Dag Juhlin, and Mike Halston. Former band sound engineer, Johnny L., was recruited into the band in 1990. The Slugs released singles in 1986, and 1987 followed by their debut album, "Non-Stop Holiday" in 1988. They covered "Hooked On A Feeling" on Pravda's tribute to K-Tel records, "20 Explosive Dynamic Super Smash Hit Explosions" in 1991. They released their second record, "Fort Fun" in 1992. In 2000, The Slugs released their last record "Junior" on Pravda Records.

"...mid-tempo guitar-pop powered by lilting melodies and a nicely modulated dash of the old Slugs energy." -- Metromix.com, April 2000, by Rick Reger

"...the Slugs are one of those amazing musical concoctions that just keeps rolling along and creating memorable pop songs." -- Chicago Sun-Times, April 2000, by Mary Houlihan

"The Slugs know power pop like anyone..." -- Daily Herald, April 2000, by Mark Guarino

"The hook-filled guitar pop reconnects the Slugs to their late '80s peer group..." -- Chicago Tribune, April 2000, by Greg Kot

"With an ear cocked toward Joe Jackson and Graham Parker, the band forsakes attitude for craftsmanship, simplicity for sophistication." -- Daily Herald, April 2000, by Mark Guarino
