Slackrr are probably the most thrilling new bands to hit the UK. Seemingly sprouting out of nowhere, their nostalgia-drenched music someway each blends and reinvents pop-punk tropes from the previous 20 years with contemporary new spins. They've been round for some time, although.

Their actual, concerted effort to make it within the British music scene started in 2018, once they hit the highway and launched their first album, "Time, It Waits For No One", shortly thereafter in 2019.

Their third album, Set The Night On Fire, simply hit retailer cabinets and streaming companies - nevertheless it wasn't enterprise as standard for the band once they lastly obtained into the studio.

Speaking solely to Express.co.uk over Zoom, frontman Scotty Perry and bass participant Caitlyn Bowyer defined that Slackrr started writing their third document whereas they have been on the highway.

"This is more in your face," Scotty defined of how the band started penning their tracks. "That comes with the experiences of touring and all the craziness from the world. The energy of our live shows and the energy our fans have given us."

"We thought," Scotty continued. "Let's give them something that will really knock their socks off."

But as soon as they stopped touring and sat down with a producer, their lives had already modified.

After enduring the pandemic, recording music behind closed doorways, and finally touring by a crumbling music business as an rising band, Slackrr have been met with tragedy. Deaths within the household and of a detailed buddy tainted the enjoyment of writing and recording their third album. As a outcome, Slackrr had to take a look at how they used to document songs, and the way they needed to vary up their fashion going ahead.

Scotty regarded again: "A lot of our message has always been about hope and getting through tough times, and it's just about trying to find happiness at the end of it all. So Set The Night On Fire is about getting to that point.

"We've had associates with psychological well being issues, and relations dying... and all these items life throws at you. The final document was very a lot about us observing that ... And [during this record] I used to be going by a number of issues I used to be making an attempt to assist folks [through] with our music. So, it was, type of, it from a unique perspective."

With a defiant smile, Scotty confirmed: "We got here out the opposite aspect of it with this document. And it is virtually like a giant celebration of surviving it - virtually."

The duo agreed that, once they finally got into the studio, they felt a distinct level of "dedication".

"We obtained hit with that first setback," Scotty said. "And then these few issues occurred... [as a result] we needed it to be extra the whole lot. More melodic, extra aggressive extra vitality - simply extra of what we have been feeling on the time."

The result of their concentrated pain is Slackrr's third record: Set The Night On Fire, a raw, visceral, almost overtly aggressive pop-punk album that somehow unifies the feel of classic bands such as Green Day and Good Charlotte with the sensibilities and vulnerabilities of 2023 artists.

Looking forward, Slackrr are excited to get Set The Night On Fire on the road and deliver it how it was written: with pure passion.

"Now, we will play this factor dwell," Scotty went on. "Tell our story, and inform different folks's tales, and simply attempt to guarantee that our reveals are like a giant celebration, that there is hope and a significantly better outlook. We're going to set the night time on fireplace."
