SLEIGH BELLS RETURN AFTER THREE YEARS WITH NEW SONG “WANNA START A BAND?”

 

ANNOUNCE 2025 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

PRE-SALE BEGINS TOMORROW GENERAL ON-SALE FRIDAY JAN. 31

Sleigh Bells - comprised of producer/guitarist Derek Miller and singer Alexis Krauss - return with their first piece of new music in three years. Entitled, “Wanna Start A Band?,” the track, out now on Mom+Pop Music, is a classic slice of the band’s signature controlled chaos that has made them an everlasting pair in 21st century indie rock. 

“In 2008 while eating at a restaurant in Brooklyn with my mom, our server, Derek, wasted very little time asking me, essentially, "Wanna Start A Band?" Hard to believe that almost 17 years later we are still hyped and obsessively making records together. Derek started messing with the riff for this song around 2014 -- it needed a lot of work but a spark was there. We had a band by then but didn't know how long it would last. For us, this song is a reminder of how we started but it's also the first part of a new story we want to tell -- more on that very soon! We hope you will come along for the ride. Love, Alexis + Derek”
