SLUMBER’S NEW SINGLE “1993 (SHAKE IT)” IS GLORIOUS ALT-ROCK
The British alt-rockers in Slumber have just unleashed one of the most electrifying tracks of the year—hell, maybe even the decade—with their new single, “1993 (Shake It).” Equal parts nostalgic joyride and sonic sucker punch, this track is a four-minute blast of pure rock ‘n’ roll time travel that doesn’t just nod to the past—it plants a big, sloppy kiss right on the mouth of the '90s.
From the jump, “1993” oozes with Clinton-era swagger. The bass is thick enough to get lost in, the guitars are drenched in harmonized distortion that crackles with attitude, and the drums hit with the force of a mosh pit in full swing. Slumber nails the vintage vibe without sounding like a cover band—they're not imitating the ‘90s, they're resurrecting it with purpose.
Then there are the vocals: raw, infectious, and packed with enough hooks to turn your brain into a jukebox. You’ll be chanting “1993” long after the song ends, probably while digging out that flannel shirt you swore you’d never wear again.
Hats off to Slumber for dropping a bona fide alt-rock heater that not only channels the spirit of the grunge-and-glory era, but also puts most modern rock bands on notice. This is how you throw a loud, proud, and unapologetic throwback.
