In 2025, Sløtface celebrate 13 years as a band — and after signing their first record deal as wide-eyed kids in their early twenties, they’ve come full circle.

Sure, they might have a Norwegian grammy for Rock, a handful of world tours, praise from nearly every major music outlet, and fans with lyric-tattoos. They might also be down a few original band members. But in 2025, Sløtface are DIY and dirty once again.

Their new single ‘YES CHEF,’ out today, marks the first independent release on their own Oslo-based label Dagen er ødelagt (“The Day Is Ruined”), run by vocalist and band captain Haley Shea together with drummer and producer Ola Djupvik (Pom Poko, Shiner).

Sløtface’s first independent release since their early days, ‘YES CHEF’ is a breathless, chaotic, car-crash rollercoaster of a track — a two-minute thrill ride from a band with a new-found joy in experimentation and creative freedom. On the single, Shea takes on the role of a sadomasochistic chef, channelling the raw spirit of old-school Anthony Bourdain or The Bear’s Carmy on a really bad day. Stay the hell out of that kitchen.

Produced and written by the band’s own Simen Følstad Nilsen (Aiming For Enrike, Jaga Jazzist, dEUS) at Fort som faen Studios (“Fast as Hell Studios”) in Oslo, the song is a labor of love from Shea, Følstad Nilsen, Nils Jørgen Nilsen (Honningbarna), and Tobias Osland (Hammok). The result is both a fresh new start and a return to the raw energy that defined the band’s beginnings. Maybe you can teach old dogs new tricks.
