Take Control is the second studio album by English punk rock duo Slaves, released on 30 September 2016.

They actually speak their minds about social topics [...] The initial conversation I had with [guitarist] Laurie [Vincent], there were so many influences he mentioned that I love – from the Gang of Four to The Cramps to The Damned to Public Image Ltd to The Slits and on and on.

All records that I truly loved and I couldn't believe he knew all of them so well for a person his age.

The duo wanted to "write some heavier music" that was "very guitar-based and thrashy" but had to slow the songs down due to "various injuries".

[12] In order to promote Take Control, Slaves initially announced a 15-date UK tour in November 2016,[13] although later announced a smaller-scale "Back in the Van" UK tour for September 2016 to precede the release of the album, in which the band are set to play much smaller venues across the UK, which normally "never get bands coming back to them" when they become more widely known.
