Slaves, The Horrors, Life sign up for 53 Degrees North event

Slaves have been revealed as the headliners of a new music conference and concert festival in Hull.

Laurie and Isaac will perform at Zebedee’s Yard on June 9th for the 53 Degrees North event, with The Horrors, Life and Dream Wife also on a cracking looking bill.

Slaves aren’t far off from their third studio album after beginning work on their follow-up to 2016’s Take Control last year:

“And the frantic changes in tone continue on ‘STD’s/PHD’s’, where Slaves do Clinic,” Live4ever’s review reads.

“It has the bubbling menace of ‘Come Into Our Room’ and power of ‘Walking With Thee’ but is never anything less that completely Slaves. And that’s what makes them the band they are – it’s true at every stage throughout. From the closer ‘Same Again’, which is most like ‘Are You Satisfied?’, to all the experiments mentioned above, they never sound like anything other than themselves; in taking all these risks they never sacrifice or compromise their sound.”

“Anger at the mundanity of life might not be new either, nor is trying to express this through music, but the sheer honesty and reality of Slaves in how they approach these vignettes of misery paint some of the best snapshots of modern life you could imagine.”
