The Slants

Oregon Public Broadcasting: “It’s tempting to peg the Slants in some existing Asian genre: Canto-pop, J-Metal, Viet Core….but they’re not quite that simple.”

Power & Politics: “The Slants rock really hard. For me, their pan-AAP identity is actually a very far second to their sound – I’d be proudly rocking this noise out of my stereos if The Slants were green and purple as opposed to yellow and white.”

The Willamette Week: “Itís a great story: All-Asian synthcore troupe lands anime festival, achieves instantaneous notoriety from overpacked fireball-laden maelstrom, inspires John Woo and Dragon Ball Z fans toward aggro electro andójust months after its first practiceóbooks gigs across the globe.
