Woah Nelly, that's a big title.
Slaves have given us a hell of a lot to look forward to this week. First, we get a new single, Spit It Out - which is angry and bolshy and brilliant by the way. Then, we get a massive tour announcement, including shows in Glasgow, London, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and every other UK city you can think of. Tickets go on sale tomorrow and you better get on that shit asap, because their recent show at 100 Club sold out in under 2 minutes.
Finally, we get the personality driven video for Spit It Out, which is filled to the brim with Isaac and Laurie charm. It features the daily life of the two thrashers in Tunbridge Wells and New Cross, which is pretty manic.

Spit It Out is the opening track from their second album Take Control which is due to drop this September 30th. This album should prove the pair sharpening their skills in songwriting and production. The two are promising some heavier stuff in there too (that's what we like to hear). Several tracks on the album were recorded on vintage equipment used by the Beastie Boys (yas) on their classic records, including STD’s PhD’s, Angelica and Consume Or Be Consumed.
