"Nothin’ Left But Me" is an ambitious sounding debut album. Mixing the guitar rock of The Replacements with the pop sensibility of 90’s alternative bands like Weezer and all topped of with the naturally soothing drawl of Korn’s vocals...After their CD release, Slant will still be one of Cincinnati’s best byproducts. - TheWheelsStillInSpin.com
"No one can ever take Sleater Kinney's place, but every once in a while, there's a band who easily reminds us of their early career. Case in point: Slant. This young threesome from Ohio stays true to the early indie-rock sound creating a folk grit riff with up tempo songs to sing along and clap to...Slant is full of young potential and promise," - URB Magazine
"Melodic power popping indie rock with a hint of punk and a dash of alt-country that will get you dancing around like an idiot," - CiN Weekly Magazine
"Known for creative stage antics, lead singer/guitarist Michelle Korn's outgoing vibe leaks into the atmosphere of her songwriting as well. Mixing unapologetic lyrics with a playful approach, she sounds brazenly amusing." - Cincinnati CityBeat
"Delivering classic punk-influenced, clap along melodies that could easily be the makings of a well established Post-Punk band...these 'kids with glasses' sound like anything but kids," - The Community Press
"This strong debut is in the same league as Rilo Kiley and Cat Power, but minus some of those acts' more overwrought traits...Slant are strong contenders for next 'local band gone national' status." - Cincinnati CityBeat

Bio
They hail from the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. They play a quirky blend of punky jangle rock with a dash of alt-country...and they're too young to legally buy beer. They're Slant. In early 2006, the teenaged best friends began to continuously win over audiences with their high energy live preformances, raw, catchy hooks and goofy stage antics. A typical Slant show
features an unpredictable amount of "band members" (sometimes costumed triangle players and tamborinists, and always all-star line up of some of Cincinnati's finest indie talent) but always fronted by singer/sonwriter/guitarist, Michelle Korn. Korn's heartfelt "lovable loser" lyrics, straight forward hooks and trademark drawl recall what may have happend if Paul Westerberg and Lucinda Williams had a love child. Taking a nod from college the college rock gods of the '80's, Slant continues to raise the bar...while destroying it. The band has recently played with highly acclaimed indie rock acts such as Black Moth Super Rainbow, Aesobi Seksu, Mason Proper, and Hymns. Slant is currently residing in Nashville, Tennessee and is releasing their debut album, "Nothin' Left But Me", independently on June 20th, 2008.
"Nothin' Left But Me" is available on Myspace, Snocap, Smart Punk, and an independent record store near you.
