By The Greasy Slicks: a rock n roll three-piece from London and Bath who are no strangers to dynamically convoluted compositions and cordially honest ambition.
Earlier this month we saw the release of their single ‘Manipulator’, a somewhat hidden gem from the debut album they issued back in September, proving to be a rousing showcase of the band’s musical aptitude and invigorating bravura.
Embroidered with grimy guitar licks, ebullient drum beats and punchy basslines stronger than the emphatic ambiance of the tune itself, it’s all consummated by the modulated, raucous vocals that scream passion and sentiment.
Possibly the most admirable aspect of The Greasy Slicks’ nature is that they don’t write their music to satisfy the desires of their audience; they write what they want to play, and let their audience fall into place as it suits. This outlook has led them to accumulate a valuable fanbase which, other than being an obvious indicator that their work is having a successful impact on the alternative rock community, makes for legendary live performances.
Giving them a listen should definitely be a high priority for those needing a pick-me-up or just a mood booster in general.
