A Slice Of Life is not only a Belgian post-punk / dark wave band blending melancholic atmospheres with driving guitars and infectious melodies, but also one of the most underrated band within their genre in our country. The band pairs strong songwriting with a powerful, expressive vocal style. Balancing energy and melancholy, A Slice Of Life creates a sound that is intense yet accessible. Known for compelling live performances, the band has built a strong reputation on stages across Belgium and Europe. We saw them on stage, interviewed them, reviewed their albums and loved it all so far.
Calling the new single before launching the EP: Back is like launching a clear and simple message: we are BACK! And indeed: they are back and sound by moments sharper, more energetic but also keep in touch with their roots and influences (hence Robert Smith and The Smiths). Yup: the single sounds like a very personal song, with vocals that will make you listen back to The Smiths. The new drummer sounds good, and yes it has also a touch of the 80’s with some shoegaze. Also getting back after all kind of troubles shows they have a strong back and can carry heavy troubles, work it out and get out of it stronger (hence: it's like their past single: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger)!
Looking forward to release the Full EP review!
