Slaves is an American post-hardcore/experimental rock group formed in Sacramento, California a few months ago. The band consists of lead vocalist Jonny Craig of Emarosa, Dance Gavin Dance and Isles & Glaciers, guitarists Alex Lyman of Hearts & Hands, Christopher Kim of Hearts & Hands, drummer Tai Wright of Four Letter Lie and Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows and bassist Jason Mays from Of Machines.

Their debut album "Through Art We Are All Equals" is produced by Kris Crummett (Dance Gavin Dance, Sleeping With Sirens, Issues) with Jonny Craig and is set to be releasaed on June 24 via Artery Recordings (a Razor & Tie inprint).

Slaves is a very intriguing group, a breath of fresh air for those sick and tired of all those post-hardcore bands looking and sounding all the same. Sample the album here and watch the lyric video for "Starving For Friends" (featuring Vic Fuentes of Pierce The Veil) clicking on the image above.
