SLØTFACE ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM ‘TRY NOT TO FREAK OUT’ 

Norway-natives SLØTFACE have revealed their debut record Try Not To Freak Out this week with the release of body positive single Magazine. 

Speaking about the new track vocalist Haley Shea explained: “I really wanted to write a killer breakup song, but I’ve never really had any experience with heartbreaking, devastating, aggressive breakups, so I thought I would write a breakup song about breaking up with bad body image and unrealistic representations of human bodies in media. It’s fuelled by the back and forth of knowing that society creates unrealistic expectations regarding what people “should” look like, and still feeling uncomfortable in your own skin because you don’t live up to those images.”

The four-piece have a staggering schedule lined up for the year including festivals all over the UK and Europe, a May run supporting THE CRIBS, and a newly announced extensive headline tour.. You can catch all the details on their UK shows below with the rest available on their website. 

Try Not To Freak Out is out via Propeller Records on September 15th.
