ABOUT GRAND SLAM
Grand Slam, the venerable classic rock band initially formed in 1984 by guitarist Laurence Archer and Phil Lynott, have a history of persistence and craft, ensuring that the best elements of their past are fused with the experiences and drive of relationships stretching decades. Led by co-founding member Archer and frontman Mike Dyer, theirs has been a true journey of destiny, one where early unions left unfinished business on the table.
Following their return with 2019’s Hit The Ground and 2024’s Wheel Of Fortune, Grand Slam have continued to fulfil their present and future with a willfulness and desire that permeates their music. Joined by Benjy Reid on drums and Rocky Newton on bass, the band have established a formidable line-up, delivering passionately crafted classic rock with swagger, style and unmistakable energy.
Building on that momentum, Grand Slam return with their third album, Slam!, set for release on March 19th, 2027 via Silver Lining Music. Featuring a series of passionately crafted classics, Slam! delivers a timeless groove and warmth, with a feel-good, carefree quality alongside blistering performances. From the swing and roll of ‘Slam Dunk’ to the late-night denim and leather swagger of ‘Lawless’, the album is a searing reminder that organic, flesh-and-blood-created grooves, riffs and dynamics will always rock you to the most positive of places.
