sloshy (stylized in lowercase) is a lo-fi alternative rock band. The band's general appearance and apathetic affect parody influential grunge/alt-rock bands that saw success in the 90s, such as Nirvana, Weezer, and Pavement. The band has a minimized presence onstage: wearing street clothes rather than formal outfits or special costumes, only using a few Christmas lights in lieu of special effects, and may even perform with their backs turned to the audience (in reference to adjacent alt-rock subgenre shoegaze). One of sloshy's most noticeable traits is backup singing consisting of bland, echo-filtered repetition of previous lines.

Though they first appeared in 2007, in-universe the band has been around since approximately 2001. The band's first appearance was in the Strong Bad Email concert, which established them as one of Strong Sad's favorite bands. sloshy were opening for Limozeen, but as the headliner's contract rider was unfulfilled sloshy played both sets. They briefly became one of Strong Bad's favorite bands until he realized they are not metal. The page title of Limozeen vs. sloshy ("The Label Made Us Do It!") suggests that sloshy and Limozeen are signed to the same record label, and the extreme contrasts in their style are often emphasized for comedy. A fictionalized version of sloshy appear as the antagonists in an episode of Limozeen: "but they're in space!".

The sloshy wordmark is typically rotated 180 degrees with o printed in a contrasting color, usually red (ʎɥsols).

...but they're in space!

The band's initial lineup was a trio:

  • Mitch Stockton (lead vocals, lead guitar)
  • Clark Cross-Country (bass, backing vocals)
  • Dan DiMinilliditto (drums)

In 2018, the release of Air​-​Sea Dolphin​/​Sloshy split introduced two new members:

  • Doug Tarndner (guitar)
  • Mark D. (guitar)

Clark looks strikingly similar to Patrick Wilson of alternative rock band Weezer. He wears regular glasses, not sunglasses, much to Strong Bad's astonishment.

The band Air-Sea Dolphin portrayed sloshy at the Homestar Runner 20th Anniversary Shows and can be seen in the No-stalgia music video. Unlike the live iteration of Limozeen, it is not clear which band member each person is portraying.
