This synth-punk powerhouse from Toronto creates music that feels like it exploded straight out of a grimy eurotrash bar or a BDSM dungeon bathed in strobing neon. Their live shows are absolutely unhinged\u2014featuring lead vocalist Dusty Lee prowling the stage in latex, demonic Kabuki face paint, and a solo arm glove. They writhe across the ground or throw their body against a mesh screen held aloft by dancers Camille Jodoin-Eng and Tago Mago, while producer Alex Low\u2014decked out in leather and flaming orange aviators\u2014unleashes torrents of hypnotic dance-punk chaos. The dancers wear nylon pantyhose masks that channel the vengeful killers from the horror film <em>The Strangers<\/em> and sometimes jump into the crowd. Translating this maximalist, visceral live spectacle into a studio recording seemed nearly impossible, yet Slash Need has pulled it off brilliantly with their debut LP, <em>SIT &amp; GRIN<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The album delivers eight tracks, most featuring previously released bangers like &#8220;LEATHER,&#8221; &#8220;DOUBLE DARE,&#8221; and &#8220;MONEY&#8221;\u2014an intoxicating post-hardcore cover of Fang&#8217;s &#8220;The Money Will Roll Right In.&#8221; It opens with a reimagined version of &#8220;BORDER TOWN,&#8221; which explodes with hypnotic synths and a vampiric cyberclub pulse. Whip cracks puncture the air, Low&#8217;s bass detonates, and Dusty Lee purrs &#8220;Border Town&#8221; in a menacing, throaty whisper. The vocals slide into a talk-sing cadence\u2014think Dry Cleaning&#8217;s deadpan delivery, but infinitely darker and more sinister. Five minutes in, Dusty completely unravels, growling raw anguish: &#8220;I hate this body \/ I wanna leave.&#8221; These moments of unhinged intensity are what make me live for <em>SIT &amp; GRIN<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;COOL TOUCH&#8221; arrives as a newer track, opening with a percussive assault that sounds like a trash can being obliterated against pavement, before Dusty seduces you with their sandpaper vocals. The song then detonates into a truly terrifying club atmosphere, picture the blood-soaked rave sequence in <em>Blade<\/em>. <em>SIT &amp; GRIN <\/em>doesn&#8217;t just capture the frenzied energy of a Slash Need live ceremony, but <em>becomes<\/em> it. If you&#8217;re discovering the group for the first time, prepare yourself for a nightmarish synth-punk ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: SIT &amp; GRIN\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0uFxGCofqyyhSyg40SGx7N?si=yZzCcd83TtC3r7ycPTcpYA&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been following PAN M 360 for a few years, you&#8217;re probably no stranger to Slash Need.
