The Slants The Slants are an Asian-American dance-rock band. The band was founded by Simon Young (also known as Simon Tam) in 2006 in Portland, Oregon. Often compared with 80’s synth-pop bands such as Depeche Mode, New Order, and Joy Division, as well as modern acts such as The Killers and The Bravery, the band often refers to their sound as "Chinatown Dance Rock". All members of the current lineup are of Asian Pacific Islander descent and they are well known for their involvement with the Asian American community, often playing at large cultural festivals and anime conventions, and fighting racist ideas/stereotypes. The band is well known in legal circles due to their battle with the United States Trademark Office, which went before the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of "Matal v. Tam", and was decided in their favor.
