Sleaze Pleaze

Emerging from the same unruly South London scene as Fat White Family, Warmduscher and Fat Dog, Sleaze are fronted by Penge-born artist Dave Ashby - lyricist on Evan Dando's new album Love Chant and co-writer of Insecure Men's "Time Is a Healer ".

Their debut album Sleaze Pleaze, produced by Malcolm Doherty at RAK Studios, bottles the band's volatile live energy and raw romanticism: songs about pubs, heartbreak, free will, and finding beauty in the wreckage. Featuring Roxy Music's Andy Mackay on sax, the album includes "Universal Adaptor," plus "Push Tuck" and "Daffodils," both featured in Lena Dunham's Netflix series Too Much.

Equal parts Iggy Pop swagger and Ray Davies storytelling, Sleaze Pleaze is gritty, glorious, and steeped in post-pub, kebab-shop glam-rock attitude - a modern British classic in waiting.
