Press Info

"If you like bands like The Cult or AC/DC you will appreciate Slush Puppy. They produce a major label sound and yet keep the DIY influences alive. It just surprised me to hear this spectacular EP that was recorded on a CD-R with the info just scribbled on it. What first got my attention was the strong vocals of lead singer, Dawn Botti. This girl can flat-out sing and her voice will mesmerize you immediately. Combine those vocals with twangy yet super-heavy guitar licks and you have a sure shot at the big time."

"To their credit, Slushpuppy has ditched entirely the Pat Benatar/Lita Ford babe-metal vibe that echoed throughout their first album, Unleashed (2000), and replaced it with an updated, No Doubt meets Catatonia sound that convincingly showcases the potential star power of lead singer Dawn Botti, who sounds alternately like she's going to f*ck with you ("Everybody Knows"), f*ck you up ("See More"), or just plain f*ck you ("I Feel Fine").

Bio

Led by Dawn Botti, a millennium rock diva, Slushpuppy pumps out hard guitar rock with passion and strength. Drawing upon diverse classic and new rock influences like The Cult, Pink Floyd and Foo Fighters, their music is a mix of dark melodic groove and upbeat post-punk pop, topped off by Botti's powerful presence and voice which state finally that a woman need not hide her emotions to be strong, or her sexuality to be taken seriously.

Slushpuppy's debut EP "Unleashed" was the #15th most added CD on college radio the week it was released in July 2000 and was played on over 300 stations throughout the U.S. and Canada. The CD climbed onto the
CMJ Top 30 Charts on over 15 stations including reaching #4 on WMHB
and #5 on WUPI. The single "Cryin'" was featured on New Jersey's WHTG (106.3 fm). The UK Cable Network, UK-NOW, featured the bands second single, "Losing Ground" on its "10x10" cable show (130 million subscribers) ranking it the #3 most "popular" song on the Internet. Veteran producer John Agnello is currently working with the band on what will become their first full length CD, tentatively entitled "Welcome To Wallington." A 4-song pre-release of the CD is now available and evidences the bands growth, both as musicians and songwriters.

The members of Slushpuppy are all originally from New Jersey, but their upbringings could not be more different. Botti and drummer Gary Szczecina grew up in "cow-country"—75 miles from New York City—where they became h
