THE SLANTS are an Asian dance/rock band from Portland. OR. Formed in 2006 by members of The Stivs, Son of Rust, and Evening at the Black House. Collectively, the members have had over 2,500 live performances, and have worked with legendary producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Murder City Devils), as well as shared the stage with Joey Ramone, Nine Inch Nails, and members of Social Distortion, NOFX, and Bad Religion.
Their music is a cacophony of melodic rock intricacy tempered by darker, dance themes with anthemic choruses and shattering hooks reminiscent of groups such as The Faint, Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, and Joy Division-except with an asian spin. Perla Cadena of Sony BMG Music Entertainment claims "If you like danceable rock or anything Asian, you'll love THE SLANTS!" The band is currently writing and recording for their first release (to be scheduled in summer 2007), which will be followed by aggressive touring and promoting.

I think Emily's told you guys this but I'll say it again, I'm your biggest fan on the East Coast (I thought Kokoro couldn't get any better and the remix is like aslgkhalghdg) and you need to get your asses over here and rock us in Philadelphia. <3
