No matter where or what time, the world has always brought forth artists who challenge & push the limits they see in it. And nothing has proved this more than the rebels who’ve defined the times we nostalgically recall of rock n’ roll. Rock n’ roll is still alive and we prove it. In every interview is captured the essence of an old soul in the modern age - beyond the boulevard and the stage we look into the minds of tomorrow’s rock n’ roll stars. The up-and-coming artists we seek reflect the rebellion of rock n’ roll past - they are here now, not for long in hiding. Come hang with us.

Season 2 Episode 17 // SLAVES TO HUMANITY - "The birth of a new scene?"

Aidan Amini, the 17 yo leader of Slaves To Humanity came to our HQ and we spent a couple of hours together, talking about the band’s journey, how it is to be in a High School rock band in 2022, and mainly, his strategy to make a living out of his passion; because Aidan thinks a lot about how the industry works and he’s the type of person who likes to plan. He told us how he’s trying to use social platforms, especially TikTok and Youtube to reach out to a maximum of people. STH are not afraid to do more than just play music and they are ready to use every bit of talent their crew has to offer. Some are good at writing and filming in the band, why not use it to their advantage? In lots of ways, STH are not much different from the other young people of their generation, they have enthusiasm, they are connected and they are eager to push boundaries. They are not afraid, for example, to mix two genres that used to be framed as enemies. By inventing the concept of Sunset Grunge they are trying to combine the catchiness and fun of the classic Sunset Strip Music and the heaviness and darker aspects of Grunge. I have to say, The Start is a very promising showcase of what they can do in that realm. In some other ways, they are a rock n’ roll band from the XXth century. The very fact that they got their first break on an actual FM radio is worth noting. Local Classic Rock radio KLOS introduced their music to their listeners in their program « Stay Or Go » and the listeners decided they should stay. The response was so overwhelming that the radio got them on rotation. I thought only algorithms could make or break a new band now but I was wrong, and I’m glad!
