The Slashes, a San Diego-based border goth trio, have released their latest single ‘I Started A Fire,’ which showcases the band’s distinctive blend of coldwave, rock en español, and nocturnal rock aesthetics. The track features Esteban Rene’s deep vocals alongside melodic guitars, purposeful bass work from Beto Bautista, and restless drumming by Carlos Robles, complemented by synth and cello arrangements. Lyrically, the song explores destructive infatuation and obsessive desire, where love becomes self-inflicted damage and devotion transforms into a darkly romantic eclipse. The production maintains a sleek yet dramatic atmosphere, balancing clean guitar lines with a driving low-end rhythm that propels the narrative through shadowed urban landscapes. The band performs at Soda Bar in San Diego on July 28th.
