Get the definitive story of The Slants, with Simon's memoir.

When Simon Tam started an Asian American dance rock band called The Slants, he didn't realize that he was starting an entire movement around freedom of expression and discussions on identity. The band flipped stereotypes with their bombastic live shows and community activism. But when Simon applied to register a trademark on the band's name, the government dragged him all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Slanted is the story of an indomitable spirit who so believes in the idea of justice that he's willing to risk everything along the way for the dignity of self-identity. Simon shares a deeply personal account that will take you from anime conventions to the Supreme Court, all in the name of justice. The story provides a raw look at our legal system with unflinching honesty and offers timely insights on freedom of speech, how to connect with others we disagree with, and the power of music.

Gripping, funny, enlightening, and ultimately uplifting, Slanted proves that no obstacle is too difficult to conquer --as long as you have a little heart and a lot of rock n' roll. It's an irrepressible story that is fresh, alive, and defines what it means to be American.

ABOUT THE BAND

It's not your typical rock n' roll story...

The Slants was never the typical band. From the studio to the Supreme Court, and from prisons to anime conventions, this Asian American band has appeared at unlikely stages around the globe with its rotating lineup in order to share anthemic synthpop music with a little punk rock swagger.

Now the band runs a nonprofit to empower another generation of AAPI artists, delivers theatrical shows filled with songs and story, and continues to compose music to bend the moral arc of the universe toward justice.
