Formed in 1997, Baltimore USA’s Stout continue the fine tradition of distinctive choppy, brutal
hardcore that has come from that city.
Drawing on a wide range of influences, Stout manages to be incredibly heavy yet diverse. They
move effortlessly from fast straight up style HC to brutal beatdowns, and menacing, dirge-like
hymns of hate and revenge.
As if this wasn’t enough, their apocalyptic onslaught is topped off with some of the most unique
lyrical content and vocal delivery, courtesy of TAD, who is also one of the scariest looking
motherfuckers whilst onstage, spitting out bitter tales of betrayal, murder and straight up insanity.
The only thing left to say is that mere words do little to describe the unrelenting fury that Stout
unleashes. The last word in heavy hardcore? We think so…

Stout, Baltimore USA’s hardest, return with their second full-length release, once again flipping the
whole concept of heavy hardcore completely on its head.
‘Sleep Bitch’ is a truly unstoppable mix of raging, fast old-style hardcore, so well-written and
immediately classic that it will instantly lodge itself in your mind.
The other end of Stout’s unique sound is their unbelievably heavy and doom-laden slower edge
- witness how the band effortlessly crosses from the upbeat ‘Emissaries’ to the crushing metallic
onslaught of ’She’.
The crazed lyrical vision of TAD somehow surpasses even the psychotic mood of their debut.
Truly one of the most adventurous and unique voices in modern hardcore, his offbeat and war-like
delivery is completely fresh and undeniably menacing.
Overall, ‘Sleep Bitch’ is the definition of raw, savage and menacing heavy hardcore, tailor-made to
leave a trail of dance floor devastation in its wake.
