August 14, 2003: New SLF studio album out now! The new album, Guitar and Drum, was released in the UK on EMI on August 11, '03. They're still working on securing a US label. Several new songs have been previewed at SLF live shows this year, including "Strummerville," (a tribute to Joe Strummer,) "Still Burning", "High & Low," and "Guitar & Drum". Said Jake Burns, "Well, we've spent five years talking about it , deliberating over it and writing for it. I was beginning to think it would never happen, but it has. After three very productive weeks in Cornwall, SW England we've finally made the 9th SLF Studio album. No-one can ever accuse us of rushing things ! We tried to make this one a bit of a return to our roots but with the odd surprise. Hope you like it and we'll see you all out on the road later in the year."
