About Me

Slaw was mashed together in the summer of 2003. Based out of Newberg, Oregon Slaw is known for it's "different from other bands" sound. The urge to rebel against the norms of society is the power that gives this band it's life. Slaw's band members are Chris Richardson on Guitar and Vocals. Tommy Rice on Bass and Vocals. and Darin Hogen on Drums.Each of us brings a different sound to the table. Slaw is 1/3 Twangy Grunge, 1/3 Rock, 1/3 Crazy. Music is our thing, and the more we can express our feelings the better. I was told we sound a lot like T.S.O.L. which was an old Orange County punk rock band formed in 1979. We have also been compared to The Misfits, Nirvana, and Minor Threat. We play Heavy music to show our anger, Soft confusing lyrics to show our fear, and our acrobatical stage preformances to show our humor. We are all into the music, some call it punk, some call it grunge, some call it shit. We call it Slaw.
