One of Newcastle’s best kept secrets and exciting 3-piece indie-rock band, dave the band, have released their long-awaited debut album, Slob Stories out now.

Slob Stories was recorded in Chicago with none other than Steve Albini (Nirvana, The Pixies), who perfectly captured the band’s raw energy and brain-to-page intensity of Noah’s songwriting. Building off the promise of a string of early EPs, Slob Stories is a fully realised work of emotional scale and scope and shows a different side to Noah’s song writing.

To celebrate the release, they have released the video for latest single, Capsule. Capsule follows the singles, Ultrahard, Get Smart, Fine! and Where You Are.

“I had the idea for capsule when I heard a friend talking about his trip to Japan where he’d stayed in a capsule hotel. It was written just as winter was ending and I was reflecting on the last few months that had passed. We’ve always been influenced by Cloud Nothings, but this is the track that makes me think of them the most. Gabe and Max are chugging away so hard in the verses that all I need to do is strum each chord once and it feels like the song becomes this living and breathing thing that we are engulfed in when we play it.” Explains vocalist, Noah Church.
