“Sleuth Gang have really got something, a vibrant sound with plenty of swagger” York Calling
“Incredibly powerful… Sleuth Gang wear their passions on their sleeves & have no fear in confronting issues” With Just a Hint of Mayhem
Gritty Leeds based punk-rappers, the 7-piece Sleuth Gang, follow last year’s debut EP Initiation (supported by BBC Radio 1’s Alyx Holcombe & Introducing’s Jericho Keys), with the release of their new single Safe Bet – an emotionally charged indie-rock gem that dives headlong into the chaos of toxic relationships.
Recorded at the award winning 6db Studios in York & produced by Dave Boothroyd, who cut his teeth on Bring Me the Horizon & Blink-182 sessions, Safe Bet with its infectious chorus hook & slammin’ groove, channels lived experiences from each of the band’s three vocalists, focusing on controlling & disrespectful behaviour, through to people pleasing, self-sabotage & the resulting overwhelming sense of desperation when caught in a cycle of emotional manipulation. Vocalist Lewis explains; “the song captures the painful reality of bending & reshaping yourself just to feel accepted & so becoming whoever the other person wants you to be, in a futile attempt to hold onto something that’s already broken. The idea of me being seen as easy prey, or a ‘Safe Bet’ by the offending party leaves me vulnerable to their abusive behaviour & I end up giving away my power… not good!”.
