Slaves announce tour for new album “Take Control”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Slaves have announced a tour for their new album ‘Take Control’, NME reports.

The 15 dates run throughout November, climaxing with two gigs at London’s O2 Shepherds Bush Empire.

‘Take Control’ is out on September 30 and follows last year’s ‘Are You Satisfied?’. The album features collaborations with former Beastie Boys rapper Mike D and Baxter Dury. First single ‘Spit It Out’ has been released, while the album also includes live favourite ‘Rich Man’.

Speaking about the album, guitarist Laurie Vincent told NME in July: “It’s some very old Slaves, some last album Slaves, some new stuff. It’s a bit of everything. It’s more developed than the first album, there’s more of a landscape. It’s heavy, lyrically and how it sounds. Some of it is like how ‘Sugar Coated’ on the first album is really punky, although some is the total opposite.”

Mike D told NME of his contribution to ‘Consume Or Be Consumed’: “I feel right now the world needs an album like this, something that’s more raw and less polished. I was impressed with the band’s strong point of view. They actually speak their minds about social topics.”
