Norwegian band Sløtface doesn’t shy away from a political or feminist lyric. Yet, it wasn’t that, which caused controversy around them. It was their band name… Because they were banned from several websites, like Facebook, they decided to change the original ‘u’ for an ‘ø’. This didn’t change the pronunciation of their name, but ended the censorship issues.

After several singles and EP’s, Sløtface are now back with new single Magazine, featuring a guitar riff from Boston’s More Than A Feeling. As they sing themselves: ”Patti Smith would never put up with this shit.” Their debut album Try Not To Freak Out will follow mid-September.
