Manchester, UK alternative rock trio [slab] have released their high energy single, Defibrillator, that features a collaboration with Cass Lily (The Sewer Cats) who lends her distinctive vocals to the song. Initially conceived as an instrumental track regularly played in the [slab] live set, Defibrillator features driving guitars, powerful drums and a menacing middle-eight, all delivered with an intensity and urgency that make Defibrillator a stand-out track. Recognising the potential for a powerful collaboration, [slab] invited Cass to contribute her ferocious howl and socio-political song writing to Defibrillator. Drawing on inspiration from the title, Cass’s lyrics explore the quest for meaning and purpose in the face of indifference. 

[slab] and The Sewer Cats may seem an unlikely musical partnership at first glance. Despite their apparent contrast in music styles, their collaboration is rooted in a firm friendship forged sharing stages, and a love of each other’s music. True to building a sense of a musical community, [slab] and The Sewer Cats‘ experiences as grassroots musicians and shared DIY ethics take precedence over genre distinctions. The single is now available via Bandcamp and will be available through streaming platforms on the 5th April, there will also be an exclusive release show featuring [slab] and The Sewer Cats at Fuel in Manchester on the Saturday 6th April.
