Offering a distinct blend of power-pop, alternative, and contemporary rock, DC-area duo The Slang are comfortable testing genre lines and taking their time to capture the minutiae of modern life. With a laid-back intensity that infuses their music, lead vocalist/multi-instrumentalist John serves as main songwriter, while multi-instrumentalist Felix focuses on the production. Both artists share a kind of low-key perfectionism: hands-on, hyper-attuned to textural detail, and aware of what elevates a song from good to great.
With smooth vocals and striking guitar melodies, The Slang is often compared to popular alt/indie bands like the Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox 20, but with a modern twist and higher production value. âWe care about the experienceâ says Felix. Their debut full-length album Divide, will feature the bandâs characteristic melodic precision, bright, electric guitar-driven anthems, and top-quality production, but with a more pop-leaning sound.
