Sleigh Bells – the noise-pop duo of Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller – are back with ‘Wanna Start a Band’, their first new music since 2021’s Texis. Listen to the pummelling, infectiously hooky track below, and scroll down for the band’s upcoming tour dates.
Talking about the origins of the new song, Krauss explained: “In 2008 while eating at a restaurant in Brooklyn with my mom, our server, Derek, wasted very little time asking me, essentially, ‘Wanna start a band?’ Hard to believe that almost 17 years later we are still hyped and obsessively making records together. Derek started messing with the riff for this song around 2014 — it needed a lot of work, but a spark was there. We had a band by then but didn’t know how long it would last. For us, this song is a reminder of how we started, but it’s also the first part of a new story we want to tell — more on that very soon! We hope you will come along for the ride.”
