   About The Slant

The Slant is comprised of four, young, eager-minded musicians from rural Pennsylvania. Now, in their early twenties, the members have completed their fourth album, "Old North." For this album, The Slant used their unique musical taste to capture the sounds and sentiments of their roots in a full-length epic. The album was composed as if it were printed on vinyl, with two parts: "the OLD," and "the NORTH", each being separate pieces of the same concept.

If you like what you hear, please keep in contact and continue to stop by for upcoming show schedules and the latest album information from The Slant.
