Listen to their latest single, ‘Slap Me Silly” here:
Slap Me Silly is a hypothetical plea for a saint-like figure to appear and click the reset button. “I’m calling for ‘The Man’, I’m brainwashed to the max, the same as all my friends, they feed us all their toxins, taxes, lies.” Dreamy, melodic guitar and epic vocals, meet a powerful rhythm section to produce something that is both catchy and unique.
For more information on Dakota Avenue, head over their socials or catch them on June 3rd, the band are hosting a single launch party at 33 Oldham Street in Manchester.
