Slung are excited to announce their debut album In Ways will be released via Fat Dracula on 2nd May. Theyve also announced a tour to celebrate the full length, and revealed its first single, the trauma-fueled, ribcage-rattling Laughter. Vocalist Katie Oldham says This song is about a face-off thats been a long time coming, and the difficult relationships we can have with members of our family, especially our parents. When were children were so desperate for our parents’ attention and approval that their dismissal or rejection can feel agonising. With an emotionally absent parent, trying desperately to earn love or consideration from someone who isnt capable of giving it can be so destructive. This hurt can often develop into resentment as we age and we may even later villainise this person, wanting to fight, confront, defeat them.

With a debut duo of singles at the tail end of 2024, Slungs sounds piqued interest among discerning ears across the industry and internet. Theyve also been working hard in the real, physical world, earning a legion of fans the old fashioned way, by hitting the road hard before theyd even released a note of music. Theyll continue this with a tour to celebrate the albums release this spring. Details below.

Slungs debut album is a collaborative combustion of its members experiences, circumstances and supreme musicianship. Their sonic universe – comprising the power of guitarist Ali Johnsons incendiary riffs, vocalist Katie Oldhams enviable dynamic and tonal range, bassist Vlad Matveikovs undulating, yet grounding basslines and drummer Ravi Martins expert rhythmic punctuation – is a veritable musical supernova. Influences within the Slung camp are far reaching, with the bands members referencing artists from Deftones and Baroness, to Wednesday and MJ Lenderman, to Queens of the Stone Age and even a sprinkling of Chappell Roan and Fleetwood Mac.
