Grand Slam Announce New Album Slam! And Release Slam Dunk Single

Grand Slam have announced their third studio album, Slam!, for release on 19 March 2027 via Silver Lining Music. The band, originally formed in 1984 by guitarist Laurence Archer and Phil Lynott, have also unveiled the new single and video, Slam Dunk.

Built around a driving guitar riff and a punchy chorus, Slam Dunk channels frustration and defiance with a rebellious sense of humour. Frontman Mike Dyer explains the thinking behind the track. “Slam Dunk is about losing yourself in a world that’s lost the plot and finding enough fire to laugh in its face. There’s hurt in there, but there’s a raised middle finger too.”

The Slam Dunk video was directed, produced and edited by Paul M Green.

The new record follows 2019’s Hit The Ground and 2024’s Wheel of Fortune. Archer and Dyer are joined on Slam! by drummer Benjy Reid and bassist Rocky Newton. The album promises a blend of classic rock riffs, groove and energetic performances, with tracks including the swaggering Lawless.

Grand Slam have also revealed plans for a German headline tour in April 2027, with dates yet to be announced. More information will be published on the official Grand Slam website.

Slam! will be available on vinyl in several variants, CD, exclusive bundles and digital formats. Pre-orders opened today at https://lnk.to/GrandSlamSlam.
