SLEAZE turn The People Have The Strength into a glam-punk warning flare

SLEAZE’s The People Have The Strength (To Turn The Tide) lands on 8 June with a title that sounds like it should be spray-painted somewhere important. Pulled from SLEAZE PLEAZE, the track sits in a gloriously direct lane: punk, garage, garage punk and glam. That combination suggests swagger, cheap lights, sweat, a little theatre and a refusal to behave like responsible adults with sensible guitars. The track works because it understands that political feeling in rock does not always need a manifesto. Sometimes it needs a chant, a sneer and enough forward motion to make resignation feel embarrassing. The limited 12-inch context also helps; this is music that wants to exist as an object, not just a stream passing through the feed. SLEAZE sound like a band keeping the older promise of garage punk alive: make it loud, make it catchy, make it slightly dangerous and do not apologise for the smell of the room.
