"[A] contender for album of the year."

More Slotface More Slotface

Sløtface drop one of those albums that will really get your heart pumping. The euphoric guitars and the driving, enthusiastic vocals of the Norwegian punk band make their second studio album, Sorry For The Late Reply, one of those punch-the-air, jump-around, I-can-do-anything-and-kick-anyone’s-arse motivational soundtracks – and you are going to love it.

From the carefree suave of Stuff, to the get-up-and-get-it opening banger SUCCESS, to the break-out-the-velvet-skirt swooner Luminous, Sløtface manage to be cool, collected and wildly erratic simultaneously as they address personal experiences and offer unique social commentary. Sorry For The Late Reply is an intricate album of sonic depth and constant surprises, Sløtface sweeping between stripped-back guitar reminiscent of late '90s grunge and more effervescent punk undertones. 

The band's captivating tone and frantically enjoyable arrangements help make Sorry For The Late Reply already a contender for album of the year.
