'Levels Out With Upcoming Album'
Hot off the back of selling in excess of 80,000 units and generating over
100,000 downloads worldwide, Australian talent ‘Slightly Left of Centre’ return to the world stage with some of their most strongest, original and most diverse material to date.
Taken from the bands upcoming second album ‘Euphoria [2016]’ single release ‘Call Me for the Weekend’ is testament to the bands tongue-in-cheek mentality, with soaring hooks and a vibe reminiscent of Maroon 5 meets Daft Punk that will keep you coming back for more.
“We wrote this song to evoke that party mentality, meeting somebody random and having a good time out or in (if you know what I mean).” Michael Pace
Euphoria, currently in the mixing stages and has undergone a lot of work independently having previous successors with 5th Release ‘Love the Way You Move’ which generated heaps of buzz for the band in 2013.
One of the band’s strengths and also the factor which allows them to cut and paste so many different genres into their sound is their studio setups. Michael and Adam have extensive studio production experience and most of it is self-taught. “I got a 4 track when I was really young and I made MIDI files when I was 11,” explains Adam of his starting point.
Michael tells a similar tale. “I’m pretty much self-taught,” he says. “I went to university and studied IT engineering, so I am pretty good with computers and working with audio gear. Music has always been in my blood. My mum was a singer, my grandfather was a singer and just working with people like Michael Zammit (Airwaves Studios) and the experience of working in professional studios has given me the courage to go out and buy the equipment myself.”
Having persevered through social media has helped break barriers the Australian Music Industry has to offer opening opportunities to worldwide fans. SLC’s first album ‘The Right Direction [2012]’ originally released as a FREE download to gain exposure to the masses.
SLC has had its fair share of successes and downfalls that truly demonstrates the Music Industry is no easy feat. Having learnt through over 10 years in song writing, producing, mixing and filming clearly demonstrates the bands driving force which is unstoppable.
Euphoria [2016] features a lot of talent not only on record, but performance aswell.
Having session musicians such as the talented ‘Olivia Drake (AUS/NZ Singer/Songwriter)’ and ‘Karl Szulik (Guitarist in Divine Ascension - AU/JAP/SWE and Living Through Mirrors - AU)’ has proven live shows to be jam packed full of entertainment. Grammy Award winning Tom Coyne (Adele, Pink, Beyoncé, Usher, Maroon 5, One Direction) is scheduled to master the final product as this will be an album that everyone will appreciate.
