About Me


"For those who reckon QOTSA turned their back on the true roots of stoner rock - and fuck it - anyone else who likes their metal. Prepare to be disturbed and yet entertained." - Simon Wooldridge, ROLLING STONE.

"Schlauncher are the 'Dawn of the Dead' of Rock!" - Matt Reekie, BLUNT Magazine.

"Newcastle's Schlauncher - well they're quite the hoot. Special mention has gotta go out to front-dude. I've witnessed some suspect stage moves in my time, but his flaying himself has to be seen to be believed... So uncool they're way cool." - Steve Anderson, DRUM MEDIA.

"The debauchery of Newcastle band Schlauncher. I had these guys in a few years back and it scared the crapper out of me." - Kevin Bull, Coast FM.

With an entertainment value second to none, Schlauncher have stunned the East Coast of Australia with their unique wall of sound for six consecutive years. While their live show and stage presence leave all for dead, their recordings offer a rare moment of calm where one can consume the solid rock outfits musical conquests without the obscure theatrics that have made Schlauncher the band to see and talk about.
