    There's a playful quality to the chunky adrenalin-soaked fuzz the duo create. [Jul 2015, p.86]

    Hey’s attempt at menace is overegged and the violence just sounds cartoonish--but the abundance of winning songs elsewhere makes such minor flaws forgivable.

    There is nuance in the songwriting that, in discovery, has helped Slaves write good album, not just a collection of good songs. [16 May 2015, p.52]

    They’ve used their major-label debut to rally the troops rather than just jeer at them from the sidelines. Every song here is a call to arms or an affirmative flip of the table.

    A solid debut, then, and one most likely coming to a festival stage near you this summer. Buckle up and be satisfied.

Their roots are mainly in hardcore punk and that definitely shines through in their music, and they've fused all these influences into new, unique styles. Tracks like "The Hunter" and "Do Something" best represent their capabilities and showcase their enormous energy. I'm really enjoying what this duo is doing and I'm certainly hyped up for their second album which is getting released at the end of this month, Full Review »
