Slime City + The Metatrons
Advertisement
Glasgow’s SLIME CITY are three Michaels playing fast, existentialist nerd rock for “people who like both sighing and fighting.” Formed from the radioactive remains of cult indie band We Are The Physics, they’ve built a reputation for whip-smart songs and chaotic live shows that are equal parts absurdist musings and laboratory rock riot.
Following their debut album Slime City Death Club, which hit #5 on the Official Scottish Album Chart (and might’ve climbed higher if it wasn’t for that Lewis Capaldi), the band returned with their self-released second LP, National Record of Achievement in November 2025, featuring lead singles You Do The Math(s) and Trigger the Dads.
Entirely DIY from recording to release, it’s a gloriously strange, high-energy exploration of modern anxiety, toxic nostalgia, late-life neurodivergent diagnoses, and celebratory existentialism, packed with sharp hooks and sharper wit.
The Metatrons are a delightfully fuzzy Riot-Pop band from Hertfordshire. After signing to Chapter 22 Records they released their "Deconstruction" album, which was a fantastic critical success, being called "The pinnacle of quality pop" and "a thunderous slice of pop majesty". Vive le Rock said the album was "bursting with bright, breezy driving rhythms...you should hear them".
The band toured the album, opening for Altered Images on their UK tour in 2022 to add to the list of great bands they've worked with - Shonen Knife, Echobelly, The Primitives, Dodgy, The Blockheads, The Darling Buds, The Membranes, Steve Craddock, The Lovely Eggs and Glen Matlock to name but a few.
2023 and 2024 had more great shows and a summer full of festival appearances, as they released their 4th album "Lumination" on Chapter 22 Records in June. Album no.5 "The Ever-Present Now" coming in June 2026!
