The Slang Reminds Us That ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’

By Jaci Jedrych

With intricate, striking guitar riffs and gritty, full vocals, The Slang is back with their newest single, “Nothing Lasts Forever.”

D.C.-based duo John Bobo and Felix Neito’s music tests the limit of genre, fusing power-pop, alternative, and contemporary rock. Lead vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Bobo handles the majority of the songwriting, while bassist/multi-instrumentalist Felix Nieto takes on production.

“We want to do it right,” says Bobo. “And we’re willing to do whatever it takes to make the best possible track each time.” 

The Slang’s newest single, “Nothing Lasts Forever,” gives listeners a timeless feel: your 15-year-old self would love the deft guitar and steely vocals as much as you will now. The video offers a heartfelt look into a very human, raw moment: addiction to people and how they make us feel.

The Slang will appeal to fans of The Killers or Kings of Leon, for their classic yet experimental alternative rock feel.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
