Originally from Ontario, Slush is a local sound about town in Whistler since the punk rockers moved west more than seven years ago, carting with them five albums.
The band of Jamie Weatherbie, Matt Elliott, Adam Leggett and Gavin McDermott celebrated 10 years of making fast melodic punk music in 2003 with the album 10 Years Wasted , a compilation of the best of Slush. The band’s most recent album, Buried Inside, was released last year, revving up the local’s heart-pounding music even faster and tighter with more technical prowess.
