They’ve been described as “Chinatown dance rock,” but the Slants are far from a novelty act," writes The Stranger, Seattle’s alt-rock weekly magazine. NPR’s All Things Considered states that ""It’s tempting to peg the Slants in some existing Asian genre: Canto-pop, J-Metal, Viet Core….but they’re not quite that simple." Incase you haven’t heard, The Slants are an Asian synth-pop band that have been melting faces off all over the country. Since the creation of the band, The Slants have toured the country five times, received press for turning down a million dollar recording contract as well as being banned from a venue in Portland due to breathing fire, and were the first and only Asian band to be a Fender Music featured artist.

Oregon Public Broadcasting: “It’s tempting to peg the Slants in some existing Asian genre: Canto-pop, J-Metal, Viet Core….but they’re not quite that simple.”

Power & Politics: “The Slants rock really hard. For me, their pan-AAP identity is actually a very far second to their sound – I’d be proudly rocking this noise out of my stereos if The Slants were green and purple as opposed to yellow and white.”

Fender Music Inst. Corp: “Powerful guitar and keyboard lines, combined with the darker but danceable tradition of their aforementioned musical heroes, immediately earned the group international press and a busy performance schedule.”
