Sløtface are the band Reading Festival have been waiting for

There's no doubt about it: Sløtface are the garage pop band everyone's been craving. The group take Reading's Lock Up stage by storm, their frenetic energy and dizzying antics a flawless antidote to the blazing heat. "If you want to take your shirt off, that's okay," Haley Shea addresses to all the females in the crowd. "Anyone who gives you unwanted attention for doing that, you have my permission to punch them in the nuts." Laughing and joking with the audience as they power their way through a set of longstanding favourites and spirited new material, the group welcome the crowd into their world like old friends. "We have this disposable camera," Haley offers between songs. "We were wondering if you would take some photos of each other then pass it back at the end of our set?" Throwing t-shirts to the front row, and giving a hurried shout out to their debut album after starting their last song, before diving to the barrier to hug their waiting fans, Sløtface's performance is every bit the picture of perfection.
