““In a music landscape packed with bands all too often working the classics, it’s great to hear a band delivering strong original material. Given that decades ago we all expected to be finished with music and have proper jobs, how good it is to revisit the original values of playing with freedom, minimal production and maximum impact. “ Shine On….! Nick Mason”

“Their latest release, Kings Of Saturday Night, sees them plunging back into the Blues and Blues/Rock world that they have been so successful in. But there are a few surprises with this album. Dark Times opens the proceedings with the band's customary Blues/Rock riffs and raw energy, drawing you back to familiar territory. The second tune, Ambling, is one of the tracks that veers away from the norm. It has, in my opinion, an Allman Brothers feel to it, and that is certainly not to be sniffed at. This is one of the things that fills me with pleasure: a band not resting on its laurels, trying something new, and boy, these guys can handle it. The title track, Kings Of Saturday Night, is just the kind of tune that you want blasting through the speakers of your car’s stereo on an open road, raunchy and full of fun. Hangover Blues is probably my favourite track on the album, although, to be fair, they are all top quality. It's an uplifting, toe-tapping, shake what your mama gave ya boogie song that would easily have everyone dancing on the tables in a spit-and-sawdust kind of honky-tonk. This has been a great collection of material to listen to. Sloe Train has evolved over the years, and Kings Of Saturday Night might just be the album that propels them to higher plains. They deserve the accolades” - Stephen Harrison

Sloe Train: Driving the Modern UK Blues-Rock Sound:
For over ten years, Sloe Train have been a driving force on the UK blues-rock scene. Anchored by the tight, seasoned chemistry of long-term members Pete Carlisle (Vocals), Chris McCormack (Drums), Chris Burrows (Keyboards), and Tony Ecclestone (Bass), the band has earned its stripes delivering high-energy, storytelling-driven performances to packed crowds nationwide.
The band first put their stamp on the map with their 2019 debut album of original material, Eclectic Blues. Though the global pandemic temporarily slowed their momentum shortly after its launch, Sloe Train spent the subsequent years cementing their status on the live circuit. Their powerful live show earned them coveted main stage appearances at the UK’s most prestigious events, including the Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival in Colne, Upton Blues, Alfold, Looe, Buxton, and Bosworth, alongside a high-profile 2024 UK tour support slot with rising stars Brave Rival.
In 2025, a major turning point arrived. After eight fantastic years, guitarist Jerome Braud returned to his native France, opening the door for virtuoso new lead guitarist András Droppa to climb aboard. Droppa’s arrival provided an immediate, massive lift to the band, sparking a profound surge of creative energy and a renewed passion for songwriting.
The definitive proof of this musical rebirth is their brand-new studio album, Kings of Saturday Night. Written during the winter of 2025/26 and recorded in March at the renowned Mooncalf Studios in Wiltshire under the expert ear of engineer and producer Nick Beere, the album is a true collaborative triumph.
Infused with the fiery spirit of influences like Joe Bonamassa, King King, Gary Moore, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Kings of Saturday Night showcases a striking variety of tracks that lean heavily on rich storytelling, soaring guitar work, and an undeniable groove.
Ten years in the making and backed by a thrilling new energy, Sloe Train are firmly back on the tracks—and they are moving faster than ever.
