Slave To Love

For London alt-rock band Minimum Wage, ‘Modern Misery’ isn’t just a debut album - it’s a reckoning. Written in the quiet chaos of lockdown, the record captures the uneasy moment between adolescence and adulthood, when the world opens up and somehow feels smaller than ever. It’s an album about the aftermath: what happens when the structure falls away, and you’re left asking who you really are without it.

Modern Misery

Paparazzi Machine

Minimum Wage are a live band at heart: energetic, dynamic, and built to be heard in the moment. Their sound is rooted in guitar-driven music of the early 2000s, but with a sharper, more current edge.

Inspired by Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro and countless others, their songs feature anthemic choruses, melodic grooves and gritty guitar riffs, delivered with a mix of tight musicianship and raw punk energy. They sing about modern life and all the challenges the current generation faces, exploring intimate themes of love and self-discovery as well as criticisms of the political class and social media.

Built on feeling, melody and purpose, their sound blends nostalgia with forward momentum. Their debut album, Modern Misery, is set for release in October 2025.
