Slaves announce Next Single ‘Sockets’ Out September 4th

NEW SINGLE ‘SOCKETS’ OUT SEPTEMBER 4^TH

^{SELL OUT SHOWS AND UPGRADED VENUES ON HOTLY ANTICIPATED NOVEMBER UK HEADLINE TOUR}

SOCKETS LIVE VIDEO (SCALA SHOW) – WATCH BELOW

Hot on the heels of their top ten debut album release “Are You Satisfied?” and winning the ‘Spirit of Punk’ award at this year’s Kerrang! Awards, Slaves release ‘Sockets’, a high octane love song on the 4^th of September.

Telling the story of a young man helpless at the sight of a beautiful girl, and the girl herself, bored by salivating male attention, Sockets is a three minute sonic assault full off frenetic energy and fast guitars. Already a firm live favourite, Sockets is an alternative Saturday night anthem ! The 7” comes with  brand new track, In Dog Years We’re Dead.

The release comes after the band’s rip-roaring three (count’ em) performance’s at this year’s Glastonbury, tearing up the John Peel stage, surprising the punters at the BBC Introducing stage, as well as some post-Kanye carnage at the Shangri-hell stage. Slaves continue their festival onslaught playing T in The Park this weekend, supporting The Libertines at this year’s Ibiza Rocks 10^th Anniversary and tearing up Reading and Leeds, not to mention headlining their own much-in-demand tour in November.
