New clip sees Laurie on the hunt for a new drummer after Isaac leaves to take the dance world by storm.

Following on from their previous single Cut And Run, Slaves release Chokehold, the new cut lifted from their forthcoming third album Acts Of Fear And Love.

Marrying Britpop-inspired melodies with razor-sharp punk grittiness, Chokehold muses on rejection and lost love. Laurie explains:

‘Chokehold’ is our attempt at writing a pop love tune. At first Isaac was concerned he was wearing his heart on his sleeve a bit. A lot of men have had that feeling of being dumped and not spoken about it.

The video’s narrative tells another story of rejection. Following the success of the Cut And Run dance, Isaac has left the band to pursue his dream of being an international dance sensation, with Laurie left behind to audition for a new drummer. One by one, in walks Ben Thatcher (Royal Blood), Joel Amey (Wolf Alice), Dom Boyce (Peace), Joey Jordison lookalike (Slipknot), Sam Doyle (Maccabees), Amber Grimbergen (HINDS), Yorkshire’s No.1 Peter Criss lookalike (KISS), the Phil Collins loving gorilla from the Dairy Milk advert and the one and only Dave Rowntree (Blur).

Acts Of Fear And Love is set for release on August 17th.

Slaves will take the new album direct to fans with an in-store tour performing/signing albums at local record stores across the country later this month.
