Colorado Springs-based punk band The Sleights are releasing their new single and video, “It’s Not That Easy,” off their upcoming, self-titled EP, out December 21.
The band—vocalist and guitarist Luke Blanton, guitarist Adam Huscher, bassist Victor Carbonell, and drummer Michael Hand—were formed in 2014, and since, the four-piece have self-release five EPs and one album, along with playing shows throughout Colorado in addition to multiple tours around the Midwest and West Coast. The band pull influences from punk and rock from the past and keep the music short and simple while embracing fast and fun vibes for their live shows.
The band chat more about the new single:
“‘It’s Not That Easy’ is a slightly darker step away from our last record. We had new material we felt could stand alone as an EP, and the songs run a little longer than our previous material because we spent much more time crafting lyrics and leads. It touches on themes of social alienation, near-death experiences, and problems trusting those around you. The title track discusses the frustration of working in a band, or any group for that matter, and trying to keep the whole thing afloat. Something that is often more easily said than done.”
