We’re beyond thrilled to premiere “All Is Fair In Love, War & The Mundane,” a debut album by Ellis Slater & The Night Shift today. The album officially arrives tomorrow on vinyl and streaming platforms via Cat’s Claw Records. Enjoy!
Ellis Slater & The Night Shift, a new London based melodic punk band following his previous work with The Misnomer and Strange Planes. After a fairly substantial detour into jobs, mortgages, children and the other less glamorous consequences of adulthood, Slater is back making loud, melodic guitar music again.
Ellis Slater & The Night Shift pulls from the melodic end of punk and post punk, with nods to Bob Mould, J Robbins, early Green Day, Beatsteaks and Rocket From The Crypt. Big choruses, loud guitars and songs that tend to sound considerably more cheerful than the subject matter deserves.
Their debut album, All Is Fair in Love, War & the Mundane, arrives on 18 September 2026. Across 10 tracks, it deals with friendship falling apart, getting older, bad decisions, disappointment, anxiety, losing your edge and generally attempting to keep your head above water while pretending everything is absolutely fine.
Current gigs:
18 September – Blondies, London, with Cold Years
2 October – The Pig, Hastings
19 October – Signature Brew Haggerston, London, with Tribute To Nothing
