Artist News CMU Approved Gigs & Festivals Releases
Approved: Slap Rash
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 17 January 2023
By far one of the best bands I saw live last year, Slap Rash have now returned with their first single since 2021. Despite the long delay between releases, ‘Voice Lost’ picks up where previous single ‘Holy Smoke’ left off – a powerful blast of post-punk drums and bass from the sibling duo.
Despite their stripped back line-up, the pair create a sound that would have you believe there are far more of them. Huw Lloyd’s bass playing deftly paints in at least one guitarist, while also covering the bottom end, plus he adds sparse electronics for extra texture. Amelia Lloyd then grounds the track with her drums and carries it forward with her vocals.
Most importantly, the track gives you an idea of what to expect from Slap Rash’s incredible live show. And the good news is that you’re never far away from their next gig. In fact, their first of the year will take place at Fuel in Manchester this Friday.
