Track of the Day – SLAVES – Cut and Run

Slaves2

I can’t believe it has been three years already since Slaves released the seminal ‘Cheer Up London’. That was probably my favourite song of 2015. We had a tradition of singing it to each other in the car if anyone was having a moment. It defused the situation every time.

‘Cut and Run’ is more in the style of my favourite song by these guys, 2014’s ‘Where’s Your Car Debbie?’ How can you not like a band who don’t take themselves too seriously, who bang out music that’s deceptively simple but catchy as hell, and feature a singer who plays the drums standing up? I was also reading that they stopped a gig to make sure there was no sexual harassment happening in the crowd when they spotted some female fans being shoved around down the front. Yes, more of that please, from everyone.

I’m hoping this is from an upcoming album. It’s great. Keep them coming lads.
