<\/a><\/p>\nAll clothing: MODEL’S OWN, Makeup: Jessica Taylor using MAC COSMETICS<\/em><\/p>\n Taken from the Summer 2015 issue of Wonderland:<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSlaves is a meeting of two personalities. We should be interviewed separately,\u201d says Laurie Vincent nonchalantly, his heavily tattooed hands gripping the plastic cutlery he\u2019ll use to tear apart his lunch. Vincent, the guitarist of the post-hardcore duo Slaves, gels seamlessly onstage with frontman Isaac Holman. And it\u2019s clear from their visceral, heart-pounding and sweat-soaked performances, that they are not messing about.<\/p>\n Their story starts in Tunbridge Wells, the kind of place where you assume everyone knows each other, especially two attitudinal, well-groomed yoots \u2013 so it wasn\u2019t long before they met. By Vincent’s account, his singer\/drummer buddy was a bit of a local sensation. \u201cI was in a band called Bearface,\u201d Holman says. My band and Laurie’s band played together a couple of times and [we] just got chatting.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI was playing in a really scrappy punk band and he came up and said, \u2018I really like that,\u2019\u201d Vincent remembers. \u201cI was blown away \u2013 my favourite local band was watching me, and Isaac’s a year older than me and when you’re 16 or 17, that’s a lot. I said, ‘If you ever need a bassist, look me up’. I joined that band and that’s when we realised we had a good writing partnership and we ended up splintering off as Slaves.\u201d<\/p>\n
