   About The Slats
  I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
"Boom Patrol" Reviews....

Left of The Dial[8/3/06] "Erase You catapults inch by inch from a dark vendetta place, all magnetic tape/deletion dictums in place. And the pop choruses still resonate like radium[...]This is for both hummers and poster children of post-rock, for those who like something both savvy and sonically molten messy and just rough enough in the joints"

Insomnia Radio - "Daily Dose" [8/2/06] "Imagine comic-book versions of Mudhoney and The Cars, drunk in a basement, and you've got The Slats. And thank the indie gods they're here. "Call My Telephone" is from their October 3 2006 release "Boom Patrol" and it manages to pay sufficient homage to Rick Springfield, while still capturing a fresh air of originality, something this band is dripping with."

"Boom Patrol" (LFR 014) Available for Pre-Order!!

I was at your show last night
It sounded kinda Sonicy Youthy
It was loud and I felt anti-social
Didn't realize you guys were so cute...
