Green Slime – 2

February 11, 2019

Buffalo trio, Green Slime, are back and in full effect with their new speaker blowing and truly excellent 10-track stoner garage rock album, 2. Their sophomore full-length can best be described as the perfect combination of heaviness and melody. It’s the kind of songs Rivers Cuomo circa the Blue Album would have wrote had he snorted a mountain of coke and bit the head off a bat. The wonderfully raw and crunchy garage grooves from guitarist Eric Ellman and bassist Mike Euscher are so thick they practically ooze from their amps. The two shred at their heaviest and doomiest on “Survival,” a boisterous track that will possess you to throw up your lighter while headbanging deeply and lethargically along. Ellman also works double-duty as Green Slime’s lead singer with crooning vocals reminiscent of the ones you’d hear on a nostalgic 90’s alt-rock single. They’re an absolute blast to sing along[...]

Green Slime – The Vesta Rose EP

January 30, 2017

Buffalo two piece, Green Slime construct an energetic throwback experience on their new EP, The Vesta Rose, a follow up to their self titled full-length LP from September. Blending together grunge, indie, and pop-punk, the duo consisting of brothers, Eric Ellman on guitars/vocals and Blake Ellman on drums, aim to recall a particular moment in rock history while also adding a bit of modernity. Green Slime’s primary vein on this new EP is grunge, and it’s something the band is able to manipulate well. The tone of the guitar has a guttural quality to it that really captures that 90s grunge grit that became a staple of the genre. Especially here, that tone is needed, not only to evoke the genre, but in order to fill up all the sparseness that exists. As a two piece, the band consists only of a guitarist and a drummer. Unlike a group like[...]

Green Slime – Green Slime

October 10, 2016

Green Slime is a Buffalo duo making an incredible amount of noise. Have you ever heard the acronym KISS? It stands for “keep it simple stupid.” Green Slime is a duo (Eric and Blake Ellman to be exact) who have obviously taken that advice to heart. The brothers Ellman spent a few days with Jay Zubricky at GCR this past September. They left with a self-titled, twelve-song banger, full of sludgy nuggets of succinct indie rock. They’ve taken the best elements of Queens of the Stone Age, The Black Angels, and Superchunk and condensed it into a bunch of garage punk bangers. Album opener “Not Sorry” is the archetypal Green Slime song. Get used to the gigantic heavy guitars, bombastic drums, and Eric Ellman’s slightly-effected vocals, because Green Slime doesn’t need much else to get their point across. Don’t be fooled by the heavy chugging, Green Slime has a penchant for pop songwriting. “Not[...]
