Slaves (US)

 

Founded by former Emarosa and Dance Gavin Dance frontman Jonny Craig, Slaves are an experimental post-hardcore outfit formed in 2014. Also featuring guitarists Christopher Kim and Alex Lyman, bassist Jason Mays, and former Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows drummer Tal Wright, Slaves were quickly signed to Artery Recordings just two months after Craig announced that they were a band. With a U.S. tour booked before the group had even released an album, Mays announced he was leaving the band due to health issues, prompting Craig to recruit Andrew Mena to fill in for the tour. By June of that year, only six months after their formation, Slaves made their full-length debut with Through …Art We Are All Equals, a guest-packed album that showcased the band’s soaring, ethereal sound. Routine Breathing, the band’s sophomore studio long player, arrived in 2015. On April 10, 2016, the band announced their break-up after their final concert in Santa Cruz, California.
