The Slats
Boom Patrol
Label: Latest Flame Records
While it will be released nationally in July, Minneapolis/Iowa City indie post-punk group The Slats are releasing Boom Patrol locally Saturday, May 20th at the Turf Club with Signal to Trust, Superdanger, XOXO Judy and Detroit’s Amino Acids.
I’ve listened through the disc a few times, and it’s going to be fun to see what the national media and fans have to say.
With tracks ranging from Beastie shout outs (”Boom Patrol”) Malkmus indie guitar nods (”I Wrote the Code”) and shout along anthems (”I Will Erase You”), Boom Patrol might just be the next big thing to come from the Twin Cities. And that would totally redefine what people think of Minnesota nice.
