Slate are the Cardiff four-piece reshaping new-wave’s shadowy edges with melodic heft and a fierce post-punk pulse. Their early singles ‘Tabernacl’ and ‘St Agatha’ drew acclaim from NME, DIY and Clash, alongside BBC support from Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq and Jack Saunders. Rooted in Welsh identity and a love of poetry that spills onto the stage, Slate emerge as one of the most compelling and necessary new voices in the UK underground.
