Cambridge-based artist SLATER’s has been making a name for himself since 2022 with a stage presence like no other. His passionate and unforgettable performances have seen him sell out London headliners and support the likes of Sheafs, The Virgin Marys, Brave Liaison, Jetski, and The Ugly Club. He’s also made festival appearances on a global scale with Andalo Rock Festival, Tramlines, R-fest and Camden Rocks just to name a few.
A spacey, melancholy, energised anthem, SLATER is returning with his new single ‘Nothing’s Ever Ok’. His vocal performance is passionate and connected, building in all the emotions of frustration, sadness and a bittersweet smile. He backs this up with aggressive drums and heavily distorted guitar chords, which both ring out past your ears and keep you attention fully engaged. The lyricism is deeply reflective and relatable for all who have lost a loved one.
SLATER shares, “We all face unfathomable moments of despair requiring strength and mental stability when we can least afford it. Nothing’s Ever Ok is a story of a loved one battling the big ‘C’ whilst facing the effects of our crumbling NHS. Left with the choice of staying here, watching it spread, or going home and leaving behind her entire life in pursuit of getting better.
This song highlights more than just its main topic, exploring deeper issues of cultural and political propaganda, spread by the mainstream media. With a global pandemic, a war on our doorstep, and people draining food banks, we are virtually hypnotised into believing nothing will ever be okay.”
‘Nothing’s Ever Ok’ is out now, check it out on streaming services!
