FRM: What makes The Slightlys different? Finneas: Your Mom would probably like The Slightlys. Even if she likes Deathcore, she might like us. Since we’re young and our fan base is young, it’s really important to us that our parents and our fans’ parents dig the music, since they’re the ones driving them to our shows! FRM: How do you see The Slightlys evolving? Finneas: Hopefully, we’ll be able to breathe underwater. And maybe—fly—if we’re really lucky. FRM: What is happening in the near future…and farther on down the line? Finneas: We’re in the process of recording our first album right now which we are SO excited about!!! You can head over to www.facebook.com/TheSlightlys or our website www.TheSlightlys.com for any news about that. This is gonna be a big year! In 5-10 years, we hope to be making a living doing what we love—which of course, is making music. Avoiding getting jobs we hate would be so swagoo! In closing, Finneas says, “We just love making music. It’s just what we do. And making music with your best friends is the best feeling in the world.” I feel a group hug coming on and I think I want to call my kids… And there you have it…The Slightlys are so much more than a singing Vegan Didgeridoo aficionado, a violin/bass playing pajama enthusiast, a Clash of Clan gamer/guitarist/keyboardist lover of adorableness and a Halo 3 retiree/drummer with a famous DJ bro. The Slightlys, though young, are WISE beyond their years and possess not only talent, but the tenacity to go the distance. And this fairy gives them “Two Wings Up”!
