“Somewhere between Mazzy Star and Mastodon, Slung flits masterfully between thundering momentum and sinister riffs, to a vulnerability so delicate it catches you entirely off guard.”

Slung feel like they’re meant to be. The mostly-Brighton-based band’s debut single »Neurotic« is the sound of a tight-knit and driven unit, working together in harmony, with some delicious dissonance thrown in.

A tight-knit crew of the formerly gifted and talented, Slung deliver blistering riffs, sinister drums and sickly sweet vocals, all wrapped up in a tasty tortellini of 90’s slacker rock nostalgia.

Citing influences as diverse as MJ Lenderman & Mannequin Pussy to Black Sabbath and Scissor Sisters, Slung’s mish-mash magic conjures a unique and memorable sound, like something you can’t quite put your finger on, but it leaves entranced.

Weaving from smooth hypnotic choruses to clattering and cinematic breakdowns, each release from Slung promises an entirely unique listening experience.

Slung comments: “»In Ways« the debut LP from Slung!

We’re over the moon to finally be bringing our first baby into this world this May!

This record was a fascinatingly back to front process, laying down 10 tracks before we’d even launched a band – 5 new friends holed up together in a wintery Shaken Oak Studios with a few demos, some dumb hope and a LOT of jigsaw puzzles.

While that may seem like so long ago now, this record represents both the beginning and an end – Like sealing a tomb that has been leaking ghosts for too long. It’s cycles being broken, demons getting slain and the necessary death that brings the rebirth.

And aside from all that it’s just a bunch of really beautiful tunes we’re immensely proud of.

Available to preorder on Vinyl & CD now via our website!”
