It’s hard to call anything Slash does “under the radar”, but this album has been just that. A couple of singles have been released; however, hardcore fans have embraced the album more than the mainstream. This seems to be just fine with Slash as he takes his band from city to city with front man Myles Kennedy singing his latest songs as well as classics from Slash’s Snakepit, Velvet Revolver, and of course, Guns N’ Roses.
ESSENTIAL TRACKS: “You’re A Lie”, “One Last Thrill”, “Hard and Fast”
(#3) SEX SLAVES ‘Call of The Wild’

Over the years critics have praised the Sex Slaves as well as questioned their direction. Does this band want to create punk, pop-rock, or a heavier sound? The answer has always been there and the answer is YES: All of the Above. Their latest release shows the Sex Slaves diversity at its very best. Moving from classic heavy metal (“Lose That Dress”) to the Alice In Chains like “Call of The Wild” to the thrashing “Sik Fuk” which sounds as good as anything Suicidal Tendencies ever released. If you haven’t checked out this band you should – there is something for everyone…and if you haven’t heard of them, well they answer this in the opening track: “We are the Sex Slaves – Who the Fuck are you?”
ESSENTIAL TRACKS: “Lose That Dress”, “Sik Fuk”, “Cool Ride”, “Call of The Wild”
