SLAMDINISTAS COME OUT SWINGING
WITH NEW ALBUM WILD & RESTLESS
LOS ANGELES ROCK ‘N’ ROLL GROUP FEATURES MEMBERS WHO HAVE PLAYED WITH GILBY CLARKE, CHRIS SPEDDING, THE DOGS, LITTLE CAESAR, CRUZADOS, THE ADAM SANDLER BAND, JAIL GUITAR DOORS, THE BLESSINGS, AND PAT TODD & THE RANK OUTSIDERS
Slamdinistas have been winning fans with their fervent mix of hard rock and pop hooks, delivered by a tight lineup of veteran musicians. The group includes singer/guitarist Gabriel Johns (Shelter, FiDo), guitarist Loren Molinare (the Dogs, Little Caesar, Cruzados), guitarist Mike Gavigan (the Blessings), bassist Peter Downing (Adam Sandler Band, Jail Guitar Doors), and drummer Brian Irving (Gilby Clarke, Chris Spedding, Pat Todd & the Rankoutsiders).
Wild & Restless is the follow-up to the Slamdinistas’ 2022 debut, Shoot for the Stars. The band supported that album with west coast shows, as well as venturing to New York and New Jersey for the first time. The album was quick to win accolades. In a review for The Big Takeover Magazine, Michael Toland wrote, “While the musicians create a backdrop of melodic, country-and-blues-inflected grit rock, Johns comes off like a survivor of a hard life, and his tunes sound like declarations of the joys of coming out of the other side of something other than paradise.” The album’s focus single, “Brand New Day,” enjoyed rotation on Little Steven’s Underground Garage channel on SiriusXM.
As for their band name, Molinare explains, “Besides the great play on words related to the Clash, it tips its hat to anarchy in a political sense. It’s a powerful name that projects what we envision as our sound.”
