Sledgeback (stylized as Sledge𐐒ack) is a Seattle, Washington-based punk rock band, formed in early 2004, with Hungarian-born American guitarist Gábor Szakácsi (Gabi Hun) as the frontman.

Former member of the long-standing influential Hungarian punk rock outfit C.A.F.B., Gabi Hun moved to Seattle not knowing a word of English, and soon after[1] formed Sledgeback.

With their first album release People's Choice through Sliver Records, Sledgeback gained notoriety through bi coastal radio play and crowd pleasing shows due in large part to high intensity performances, while boasting powerfully raw, life inspired lyrics.

helped build a loyal fanbase for Sledgeback around Hungary, and gained attention in various European countries following the release of their second album by Rebellion Records (Holland) in 2007.

It released by Sliver Records in November 2010 following a 12 track split cd (compact disc) Reality Bites with Welsh punk veterans Foreign Legion.

The sound of Sledgeback originates in the Hungarian front man's vocal[7] style that defines the whole structure of the group with lyrics that often describe painful moments[8] of life taken from Hun's personal experiences.

Possibly because of the frontman's Central European heritage, Sledgeback's musical style is comparable with bands like the German Böhse Onkelz, The Freeze as well as Pegboy and Gábor Szakácsi's previous group from Hungary, C.A.F.B.
