With a mix of self-aware swagger and charming imperfections, London-based five-piece Slumber are reviving the indie sleaze scene with their standout debut track, Julian Casablancas (I Wanna Rock A Pair Like).
Slumber – Julian Casablancas (I Wanna Rock A Pair Like)
Based in London, Slumber is a rising rock band known for their bold confidence, sharp sense of humour, and electrifying sound. Over the past year, they’ve refined their craft on the city’s live music circuit, playing at notable venues like Shacklewell Arms, The Old Blue Last, and even selling out The George Tavern alongside My Fat Pony and Wonderbug.
After gaining extensive live experience, it was only natural for Slumber to release their first track, and they’ve done so in style with the debut single Julian Casablancas (I Wanna Rock A Pair Like). The song captures the pressure of navigating London’s nightlife as the socially awkward guy in a room full of seemingly cooler and more attractive people, all cleverly wrapped in a playful nod to The Strokes’ frontman.
The official music video adds another layer to the song’s theme, bringing the playful scenario to life creatively and entertainingly—without giving away any spoilers, it’s safe to say it captures the vibe perfectly.
Musically, Slumber describes their debut single as a “Heineken-stained, flash-photography-fueled anthem steeped in uniquely British mild-mannered hedonism.” While this description might seem over-the-top, it makes perfect sense when you listen to the track’s distorted guitar riffs, rhythmic drums, and swaggering vocals—all coming together in a compelling and energetic sound.
Julian Casablancas (I Wanna Rock A Pair Like) is an irresistible alt-rock powerhouse, exemplifying everything a standout debut should be.
Slumber recently hosted their first “Slumber Party” at Hanway Bar in Central London, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. If you missed it, don’t worry—they’ll be headlining at Sebright Arms on October 5th, and it’s a show you won’t want to miss!
