The Slates started their new deal with This Feeling Records / LAB Records in style with ‘Watch It Burn’. Greeted with a wave of support across Apple Music, Radio X, Amazing Radio and Northern Exposure, the band followed the track with a sold-out UK headline tour and electrifying festival sets including This Feeling By The Sea and The Great Escape. Now the youthful Yorkshire quartet shift gears on that soaring momentum with the new single ‘Try It Again’.

The single has already earned a big reaction when debuted at recent live shows, prompting wall-to-wall singalongs for this at the time unreleased song. ‘Try It Again’ was written by Louis Barnes and Joe Briggs. It was produced by Mike Heaton and Tom Butler, with mixing and mastering from James Kinosha.

Joe Briggs says, “‘Try It Again’ is about a subconscious feeling I had whilst being in a past relationship. I knew that it was coming to an end, but I was hiding away from the truth and wanting to try it again.”

‘Try It Again’ also features on the band’s limited edition vinyl-only singles compilation ‘From Then Till Now’. Final copies of the record are available HERE.

Completed by founder member Jude Wales (bass) and recent recruit Cohen Hall (drums), The Slates’ ascendency is replicated in the live arena following shows with contemporaries such as The Clause, The Lilacs, Crystal Tides and The Kairos as well as longstanding indie favourites like Embrace.
