GRAND SLAM, the vintage rock outfit famously featuring the late Phil Lynott, have announced their third studio album, "Slam!", set to arrive on March 19, 2027, via Silver Lining Music. To mark the occasion, the band has unleashed the new single "Slam Dunk", a high-octane piece of rock 'n' roll defined by a pace-setting guitar riff and an infectious chorus.

Frontman Mike Dyer describes "Slam Dunk" as a defiant response to a modern world that has "lost the plot." The track captures the band's signature rebellious humour and grit. The accompanying music video, directed and produced by Paul M Green, provides a visual companion to the track's raw energy.

Slam Dunk is about losing yourself in a world that's lost the plot — and finding enough fire to laugh in its face.

Following the success of 2019's "Hit The Ground" and 2024's "Wheel Of Fortune", the current quartet of Laurence Archer, Mike Dyer, Benjy Reid, and Rocky Newton aim to deliver a "rocking antidote" to modern times. The upcoming LP features a selection of 10 tracks, including "Lawless" and "Ride On", designed to deliver organic, flesh-and-blood grooves.

Archer, who performed alongside Lynott in the post-THIN LIZZY era before a stint with UFO, has spent years rebuilding the GRAND SLAM machine. "Slam!" will be available across various vinyl and CD formats, with an April 2027 German headline tour expected to be announced shortly.
