about BITCHSLAP!
BITCHSLAP! delivers heavy, crunchy, loud music with fuzzed-out guitar, big bass and drums, and eat-shit-and-die lyrics.
Led by the commanding Jess Coram, Bitchslap! was initially founded in Australia in the early 2000s, and now hits Seattle with backing members Ted and DJ. Riot grrrl meets grunge meets punk meets funk: this is one band you won't want to miss.
meet the band...
jess
Born & raised in Australia, the compelling Jess Coram traipsed the country and the globe as the founder of badass punks ‘Bitchslap’ and as the rhythm guitarist for Sydney dark alt-poppers The Mis-Made, resulting in multiple albums and a stint opening for grunge wave icons L7 in 2016. Jess joined AC/DC tribute act Hell’s Belles in 2020, as the rhythm guitarist.
ted
Born & raised in the PNW, Ted is a self-taught drummer since the 5th grade, and doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Having played in several different genres of bands, Ted has developed quite a unique sound all to his own. Try keeping up with this animal! When not busting guts with Bitchslap, you can catch Ted onstage with local PNW bands Nobody’s Peach, and hourglasses.
dj
Born & raised in Arizona, DJ was given her first guitar by her grandmother at age 13, and it was love at first strum. DJ went on to cut her musical teeth in a Bay-Area punk band in the 1990s. Outside Bitchslap, DJ plays alongside Ted in local band hourglasses, and is committed to giving back to the community through volunteerism and activism.
