"This song is a reminder of how we started but it’s also the first part of a new story we want to tell." Ten years after they began work on it, Sleigh Bells release new single Wanna Start a Band?, and share North American tour dates

Sleigh Bells.

Sleigh Bells, the American noise-pop duo featuring former Poison The Well guitarist Derek Miller and vocalist Alexis Krauss, have released a new single, Wanna Start a Band?, which they first began work on over a decade ago.

Talking about the band's first new release in four years, Krauss says, "In 2008 while eating at a restaurant in Brooklyn with my mom, our server, Derek, wasted very little time asking me, essentially, ‘Wanna start a band?' Hard to believe that almost 17 years later we are still hyped and obsessively making records together.

"Derek started messing with the riff for this song around 2014 - it needed a lot of work, but a spark was there. We had a band by then but didn’t know how long it would last. For us, this song is a reminder of how we started, but it’s also the first part of a new story we want to tell - more on that very soon! We hope you will come along for the ride."
