The two bands played together a few times then continued to pursue their respective agendas, and eventually both bands split up. Radar and Ryan went on to play together in Dead By Dawn and Darryl Ray and the Blues Outlaws. Individually, Radar toured with Incognegro and howled with The Rock-O-Jets. Ryan comprised half of The Shovel and held the beat with Gringo Motel.
Kermit recorded and toured with bagpipe rockers, The Rusty Nails, thrashed with the short-lived Malocches and filled the space with a drunken solo acoutic project.
Ryan and Radar began demoing material in early 2004, Kermit filled the guitar spot in July, and after six rehearsals had material for their first six song demo.
In April 2005, King Gary recorded 10 songs for Slumlord's self-titled 10 song debut at the Deathstar in South Philly.
Local radio host Tommy Conwell brought Slumlord into the studio in late January 2006, the result is available for download here.
By 2006, the 'Lord was ready to record a new batch of songs, and Tom Scheponik was ready to capture them. The songs were recorded at the C.O.D.E. Space in West Philly, the site of Slumlord's first show.

result is 1347 AD, a tighter, bolder 12 song set, featuring artwork
