Slaughter Beach, Dog is an indie rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania formed by Jake Ewald in 2014. Initially starting as one of Ewald's solo projects away from Modern Baseball, the group was realized after an indefinite hiatus of Modern Baseball was announced. [1] The line-up originally featured vocalist and guitarist Jake Ewald, bassist Ian Farmer (also from Modern Baseball), guitarist Nick Harris (departed in 2020) from All Dogs, and Superheaven drummer Zack Robbins. [2] [3]
The group had its beginnings as a solo project by Modern Baseball co-frontman Jake Ewald after encountering writer's block. Ewald released the project's debut EP Dawg in 2014, under the new moniker. [4] He was soon signed with Lame-O Records, the label responsible for managing Modern Baseball. [5] Under his new label, in December 2016, Ewald introduced his self-produced debut LP as Slaughter Beach, Dog, [6] Welcome, [7] via Lame-O records, with generally positive reviews. [8]
Following the announcement of Modern Baseball's hiatus in 2017, [9] Ewald released EP Motorcycle.jpg in collaboration with former bandmate Ian Farmer in July. [10] [11] Ewald's second LP, Birdie, saw the project lineup expand with the addition of Farmer, Harris, and Robbins. [12] [13] With the project's newfound members, Slaughter Beach, Dog released Safe And Also No Fear in August of the following year, with a nationwide tour. [14] [15]
On December 24, 2020 the band's fourth studio album At The Moonbase was released. The album was written and recorded in solitude by Ewald due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [16] The band's fifth studio album Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling released on September 22, 2023. [17]
The name is derived from a town in Delaware called Slaughter Beach. Ewald expressed a desire to name the band Slaughter Beach, having come across the location travelling between his house in Philadelphia and his parents house in Delaware. However, after discovering the name was already in use by another band in Europe, Ewald simply added a comma and the word "Dog". [18]
