Railslide is a local Bluesy Skate Punk Power Trio making music they describe as “Angsty Skate Rock for rebellious youths.” Their sound blends the young angst of college punk with classic rock-n-roll.
The trio consists of Guitarist/Frontman Jake Handley (right), Bassist Bill Batty (center), and Drummer Adam Garlow (right). Railslide has a new, electrifying self-titled single that will be released late June. The EP was recorded at The Rock Shop and East Atlanta Recording Studios. (Produced by Willis Corley, Darrick Atwater, Sean McPherson, and featuring renowned Session Drummer Darren Dodd.)
The new single release will be celebrated with a show at the bands regular venue, Smith’s Olde Bar. The party will also debut the music video. You can expect a mean show with dirty bass lines, blistering guitar riffs and dangerously catchy hooks.
Railslide says that the single encompasses the trials of the daily grind in a society run by ‘The Man.’ The band describes the single by saying,
“The line, ‘day after day after day after day…’ eludes to the monotony of the repetitive daily routine, while the hook, ‘push to the shove to the bitchslap catch’ depicts forward motion with minor setbacks through the imagery of a skater.”
The singles continues up the metaphorical hill until it peaks, then barrels to a crash-and-burn style finish. You can hear this single and more live at their release party at Smith’s Olde Bar on Saturday, June 22nd. Doors at 9. Show starts at 9:30. See you there! - Plazma Magazine (Amanda Norris)

Bio
Thrashing onto the scene with their self-titled music video debut, Atlanta based rock band, Railslide, brings you the angst of College Punk paired with the sensibility of 60's Rock N Roll. The band was formed in late 2018 by former high school bandmates, Jake Handley (Guitar/Vox) and Bill Batty (Bass). With the help of Willis Corley (Producer), Darrick Atwater (Mastering Engineer), Sean McPherson (Recording Engineer), and featured Session Drummer, Darren Dodd, the gang managed to craft a sound meaner than the unforgiving pavement; with their dirty bass lines, blistering guitar riffs and dangerously catchy hooks, the grassroots visionaries seek to push the limits of Rock N Roll and demolish the obstructing social barriers put forth by the Man.
