It's been a great few years but we are sorry to announce that The Slides are no more and have officially split.
It's been a roller-coster ride with charting singles, mini-album's, UK tours and the like.. but sadly all great things come to an end.
The band would like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone for their support over the years.
The latest...

One the next big things. - Unpeeled 'Slow Bullet' assumes a starting point of just being merely cool and shifts daringly before your very ears and eyes to being simply jaw dropping in the space of 3 minutes - the phrase 'will piss over the competition' is as apt here as it was ever meant to sound. - Losing Today.com Energetic performances and their passion and love of music is evident through all of their songs and performances.
