Their journey kicked off with a 7" vinyl single in 2017 under the banners of SOB Records, Double Face Records, and Resurrection Records, establishing them as purveyors of no-nonsense garage-ripped rock. Their 2018 album, Holy Motor on Voodoo Rhythm Records, was a breakthrough, capturing the hearts of underground music aficionados.<figure id="figure-uck6tv5cacm4ic2clf"><img id="uck6tv5cacm4ic2clf" src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/29iTp8Y0jZ2hzJpJ9u1Mzk0SqzAPgW632mTyUtgUEVs3Sh3NliQOhpsmdoREDXn2.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/covers/29iTp8Y0jZ2hzJpJ9u1Mzk0SqzAPgW632mTyUtgUEVs3Sh3NliQOhpsmdoREDXn2.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure> The addition of drummer Tony Machete in time for their 2021 release, A Knife in Your Hand, marked a turning point. His savage rhythms pushed SLOKS into a new era of ferocity, which was reflected in their inclusion on the compilations You Didn’t Think We Could Take It! Vol 2 by Mandinga Records and Bomb Your Brain Vol 2 by Pigmè Records.2023 brought a significant evolution with the band welcoming vocalist Rudy “Red” Valentine of Barsexuals and Los Mofongos fame, whose voice adds a layer of explosive dynamism. The lineup was further electrified by guitarist Massimo Scocca, previously of Lame and Two Bo’s Maniacs, creating a dual guitar assault that amplifies their already potent sound. This formidable foursome - Tony Machete on drums, Buddy Fuzz and Massimo Scocca on guitars, and Rudy “Red” Valentine on vocals - hit the studio in Toulouse, France at Swampland Studio, where they laid down 13 tracks under the guidance of producer Lo Spider, known for his work with Blew-Up!, Destination Lonely, and Dividers.<figure id="figure-5xdwxw6s25m4ic9u83"><img id="5xdwxw6s25m4ic9u83" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1aLc6XKx9VgA7OrngPzi5ijQI9Fv40axpwAufBbEhFWhQmZm0OcfjO3mqWGntge2.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1aLc6XKx9VgA7OrngPzi5ijQI9Fv40axpwAufBbEhFWhQmZm0OcfjO3mqWGntge2.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure> VIPER is poised to be a landmark release, showcasing SLOKS' unwavering commitment to the raw and the real in rock n roll.
