Sleazy Town is the razor edge of Parisian hard rock: a cocktail of Southern groove, corrosive sleaze, and glam metal that hits hard. Biting riffs and punchy melodies are driven by a heavy rock’n’roll bass and a powerful, high-energy drum attack. Every track breathes tension, adrenaline, and the promise of an explosion. The vocals, alternately raspy and melodic, carry punchy lyrics while the guitars blend tradition with creative fury. On stage as on record, Sleazy Town fuses sonic sensuality with raw ferocity: you walk away shaken, hooked, and ready to reignite your flame. Riffs, power and decibels. No compromise.

Formed in 2011 around Andy Dean (vocals), JJ Jaxx (guitar), Steff Dust (bass), and Julian (drums), the band quickly established a raw, unifying identity. Macabre took over on bass in 2020 following Steff Dust’s departure, and Dewez joined on guitar in 2025, strengthening the lineup: five mercenaries determined to turn every note into a sonic blast.

In August 2013, Sleazy Town released its demo "Midnight Fight": five tracks recorded at Studio Plus in Paris, including a blazing cover of "Talk Dirty To Me" (Poison). Pressed in 1,000 copies, the demo quickly spread across the Paris region and beyond, eventually catching the attention of the American label Demon Doll Records, which now handles its U.S. distribution from Los Angeles.

April 26, 2024 marked a major milestone with the release of "Unfinished Business", the band’s first studio album in a double format. Twenty-four tracks recorded at Alias Studio in Paris. A bold and uncompromising debut. Signed to the independent label M&O Music (distribution in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands), the album received praise from the specialized press (Rolling Stone, Hard Force, Rock&Folk) and gained strong momentum with the single "Mystic Religion".

On stage, Sleazy Town leaves no room for half-measures: electrifying performances, raw energy, and technical mastery. From Fertois Rock In Fest (2020) to Mennecy Metal Fest (2023), from Hellfest Off (2024) to Rock Metal Camp (2025), the band continues to deliver with relentless intensity. A solid force in the French hard rock scene.

« Skillfully blending power, groove and melody, Sleazy Town’s four musicians deliver a hard‑rock sound that is entirely their own. From catchy riffs to furious melodies, Sleazy Town drills into roaring guitars to pull out a resolutely rock’n’roll bass, all driven home by an utterly overcharged drum attack. »
HARD FORCE - Read

« The right attitude probably lies halfway in-between: in the pleasure of rediscovering classic‑rock tones while shamelessly savoring Andy Dean’s thick, uncommon vocal timbre. You catch yourself thinking that if our kids ever ask what hard rock is, you could just put this record on and give them the tour. And for us, it’s simply — “yes, this is what rock’n’roll is first and foremost”: good songs, great guitars and a massive sound. These Parisians didn’t invent anything, but they do it well — very, very well. »
ROLLING STONE - Read

« The Parisian four-piece Sleazy Town waited twelve years to release their debut album but, for the occasion, they didn’t hold back: it’s a double album clocking in at twenty‑four original tracks. These Aerosmith and Guns N’ Roses fans pledge allegiance to a sleaze‑tinged hard rock that remains faithful to the genre’s codes: guitars in abundance, overcharged rhythms, and vocals that are both melodic and raw. [...] the band convincingly celebrates a heavy current that stretches back to the 1970s — a period that was itself fond of sprawling double albums of this kind. »
ROCK & FOLK

« Clearly, some business has been left unfinished over the past decade, and fans of big US hard rock are going to be thrilled. From the opening bars [...] the band transports us back to that era — blessed, some would say — when Los Angeles became a haven for resident musicians with formidable know‑how. Here they draw as much from the giants of hair metal [...] as from the monsters of hard and heavy rock. The band belongs to a generation that has fully absorbed the genre’s codes while bringing its own personal, passionate twist. Andy Dean’s raspy, warm voice rides JJ Jaxx’s furious, playful riffs, while Macabre’s bass (!) and Julian’s drumming reinforce that overwhelming sense of power and sheer sonic bliss. »

« Welcome to the Sleazy Town. Welcome to the town that will take you to the very depths of your soul. This musical journey lasts 1 hour and 42 minutes — time enough to play your inner film and summon every emotion, to live them through the twisted path traced by Sleazy Town. Imagine the bleakest roads of the American South; imagine dust kicked up stinging your nose; imagine metallic machines carrying you in a rumble, from one ordeal to the next. You’re there. This is, at its core, the most essential contemporary journey: a 24‑track double hard-rock album. Remarkable for a debut full‑length. »
LA GROSSE RADIO - Read

« An excellent, remarkably successful double album, packed with compositions where power, groove and melody blend perfectly with plenty of originality and subtlety. Mission accomplished for Sleazy Town: with their catchy riffs, melodic-yet-raging vocals, irresistible anthemic choruses and finely honed guitar parts, they showcase the full measure of their talent in a distinctly vintage '80s hard‑rock style. »
ROCK MEETING - Read

« A quartet, first and foremost, made up of musicians who know their passion inside out and talk about it in abundance. A clear fascination with glam, hard rock and southern rock, all tossed into a gleaming shaker that births and pours out invigorating cocktails. A dose of energy to last the whole night, and above all, an unwavering passion for the USA. »

« To describe every track in detail and pin down all the references would be to write a review as long as Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace! The record breathes that thick, greasy rock we’ve loved since the ’70s — the very stuff that ran wild throughout the decade that followed. »
SOIL CHRONICLES - Read

« Nearly ten years of rehearsals and shows went into shaping a journey through a so‑called gloomy landscape, yielding music that reeks—in the best possible way—of the thick, heavy rock of the golden era and the landmark bands that laid the foundations of hard rock and glam from the late ’70s into the ’80s. A fine ride, it seems, redolent of Harley twin‑cylinder oil and the worn leather of a biker’s jacket. »
