Slaves - Spit It Out

Slaves have traded guitars for flamethrowers. On paper, it makes absolute sense for the Tunbridge Wells duo to up the noise stakes. With a new album approaching, they promise to be bigger, louder, more unrelenting. But a song like ‘Spit It Out’ goes way further than bolshy statements.

On last year’s ‘Are You Satisfied?’ LP, Slaves dabbled with these decibel levels. But vicious yelps were delivered alongside a sly humour. ‘Spit It Out’ is pure, unhinged force. It’s a statement of intent these two needed deliver at exactly this moment, right before they take to the main stage at Reading & Leeds. They’ve risen to the challenge.
