London – Wednesday, November 11, 2026 – Grand Slam, the venerable classic rock band initially formed in 1984 by guitarist Laurence Archer and Phil Lynott, return with the release of their third album, Slam! on March 19th, 2027, via Silver Lining Music. Pre-orders available from November 11 at this location.
The brand new single ‘Slam Dunk’ is a hard-hitting slice of rock ’n’ roll that channels frustration, defiance and a healthy dose of rebellious humour. Driven by a powerful, pace-setting guitar riff and an infectious chorus, the track captures the band’s unmistakable energy and attitude, as frontman Mike Dyer explains:
“‘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.”
Watch / Listen to ‘Slam Dunk’ at this location – Video Directed, Produced and Edited by Paul M Green.
Building off the success of 2019’s Hit The Ground and 2024’s Wheel of Fortune, Slam! stars the statement Grand Slam line-up of Archer, Dyer, Benjy Reid (drums), and Rocky Newton (bass), with the quartet delivering a series of passionately crafted classics that provide the perfect rocking antidote to these fraught times.
There is a timeless groove and warmth to Slam!’s songs which creates a feel-good, carefree quality alongside some blistering performances. The swing and roll in “Slam Dunk” also holds one of Archer’s many choice solos, while “Lawless” will excite anyone who loves the swagger, smell, and attitude of late-night denim & leather with Dyer’s vocals dripping with grit. At a time when the world seems so mechanised and cold, Slam! is a searing reminder that organic, flesh-and-blood-created grooves, riffs and dynamics will always rock you to the most positive of places.
But the good news doesn’t stop with today’s brand-new single release and album announcement! Grand Slam have even more exciting news on the horizon, with their April 2027 German headline tour set to be announced soon.
