The Slang is an alternative/power pop/rock band from Columbus, Ohio that will easily soon become one of your favorites. The Slang consists of John Bobo on Vocals, Multi-Instrumentalist, Michael Dillon on Drums and John Newsome on Bass. They have recently released their new single, Feels Like Work which is off their upcoming self-titled due September 2nd. The album was recorded at the Cutting Room, the album was mixed by Mark Needham (Imagine Dragons, Tokyo Police Club) and Mastered by Brian Lucey (The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys). Check out the song here in their official video for it:
The song really captures the a particular time in my life for me back in the 90’s where my music taste was satiated by the independent music underground of alternative rock which I was fed my fix daily through college radio stations. I really love this song and the vocals bring me back to my love for Thom Yorke in which they have the similar engaging style. You are just drawn into the vocals and your mind meshes with the notes, sounds, and tones of the song, simply enveloping you and creating your own new world.
I am looking forward to the new EP and even more so, excited about word of a tour by The Slang in support of it. The tour is set to start in the Fall of 2014 featuring John Bobo, John Newsome, Matt Thiedt (guitar/keys) and Michael Dillon (drums). Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news.
