Melbourne’s much loved Slum Sociable reveal a brilliant new single ‘Life Is Free’.

'Life Is Free' is the Melbourne band's most confident work to date, segueing from a hypnotic verse groove into a rousing, festival ready chorus that is certain to become a live highlight. It sees the band (long term friends Edward Quinn and Miller Upchurch) once again join forces with the talented Kon Kersting (Mallrat / Jungle Giants) who worked across production & mixed Slum Sociable’s forthcoming EP L.I.F. (out Fri 2 Aug).

On the meaning behind the song, Miller explains:

"’Life Is Free’ was called that because, it isn't. The second line of the song points that out; "how can I say that knowingly". It’s about noticing how valuable a resource like time is, how you use it with the people in your life, how other people who might not have it as good as you use it, and ultimately trying to use it for good."

Slum Sociable's impressive catalogue is now approaching 25 million Spotify streams and has seen playlist and editorial support in all corners of the globe. International critical acclaim for the band comes from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, Noisey, Pigeons & Planes, Billboard, Interview Magazine, DIY, Clash, KCRW and Zane Lowe / Beats 1.

'Life Is Free' and L.I.F. follows the band's 2018 singles 'Do Something About It', 'Can't Figure It Out', 'Afterthought' and their critically acclaimed self-titled album (2017).
