Sløtface (pronounced Slutface) have today released their new single titled ‘For The Boys’ via their own label, Dagen er ødelagt (the day is ruined).
Sløtface’s evolution of revolution continues with that next chapter of røck and pøp with equal parts meaning giving an internal evolution and spiritual shoutouts taking frontwoman Haley Shea’s vocals into a new emotional high. This song is a catapult, to me, in that it feels fresh while giving Sløtface a chance to take a chance with a slight change in direction and a subtle shift in focus.
While remaining close to style and true to form, Sløtface veer slightly off the road with a track that melds emotions and modifies the mold.
About ‘For The Boys’
‘For The Boys’ lyrics reflect the shifting phases of the men in Shea’s life – as they become fathers, start going to therapy, grow, change, and struggle. The title says it all – this one’s ‘For The Boys’.
‘For The Boys’ was produced and written with some of Sløtface’s own boys – Simen Følstad Nilsen (Aiming For Enrike, Jaga Jazzist) produced and co-wrote, alongside Tobias Osland (Hammok) and Nils Jørgen Nilsen (Honningbarna). The 4-minute track builds through post-rock guitars and Twin Peaks-esque sections, culminating in a massive sonic wall of sound with Shea’s voice teetering on the edge. This one is sure to become a highlight in Sløtface’s already energetic and emotionally charged live sets when they return to the UK for three UK shows in February.

As if the song wasn’t already wholesome enough, drummer Nilsen has this to say about it: “I just want to say that what this song makes me feel is that Haley sees me where I am and cheers me on. She’s a friend who’s with us in the challenges along the way while celebrating how far we’ve come.”
If that didn’t make you want to listen to it while you cry friendship tears, I don’t know what will.
‘For The Boys’ is the second single from Sløtface’s upcoming series of releases on their own label over the next year. The vision is a quick turnaround from idea to release, offering a fresh creative start for an unfiltered, energized Sløtface.
