Slaves @ the Bristol O2 Academy, Nov 2018 (Jessica Bartolini / Live4ever)
Slaves and Frank Carter And The Rattlesnakes have both joined the Glasgow Summer Sessions bill which will be headlined by Foo Fighters on August 17th.
The Van T’s and Hot Milk complete the line-up after Foo Fighters were confirmed to headline the event along with The Cure and The 1975. “To welcome Foo Fighters to Bellahouston Park for the first time is so exciting for music fans all over Scotland,” organiser Geoff Ellis said at the time. “They are, to this day, one of the best festival headliners in the world. With their outstanding back catalogue, this is bound to be an unmissable show.”
Slaves are still promoting their most recent album Acts Of Fear And Love, one of Live4ever’s top picks of 2018 which we said has ‘echoes of some of Greater London’s previous heroes‘:
“The Lives They Wish They Had recalls Graham Coxon’s more frustrated moments in Blur, and the title-track resembles some of that foursome’s experimental elements from their self-titled effort.”
“And, of course, the spirit of The Clash and the Sex Pistols runs throughout. As we all know by now, the band consists of only two members, but like The White Stripes before them the cacophony made is nevertheless impressive.”
