Founded in 2003, Simply Slang is a hard rock quartet based in Chicago, Illinois. Originally known as Deadline, the band later changed its name upon discovering another band using the same name. In 2004, Simply Slang issued its eponymous debut, "Simply Slang", through Platinum Realm Entertainment.

Within a short time of its release, "Simply Slang" began to receive international attention, due in part by the band offering free downloads of its songs through the Internet.

This strategy proved effective, as two songs released from the debut, "Live 4 The Weekend" and "Angeline", became top downloads on music websites around the world. In March of 2005, Simply Slang reached #1 on the Heavy Rock Artist charts on MP3.COM.AU [http://www.mp3.com.au] , Australia's most popular music provider. Several weeks later (on the same website) "Simply Slang" hit #1 on the Heavy Rock Album charts.

Despite the accomplishments, the band's lack of financial success started to take a toll. The hectic tour schedules, along with artistic conflicts, substance abuse issues, and financial woes, grew too much for some members to bear. Starting with guitarist Jeff Novak, the musicians departed one by one. By August 2005, frontman Aaron Morales was the band's sole remaining original member. In the weeks to follow, Simply Slang would go through several lineup changes before entering the studio in late 2005, to begin work on their second opus, "Bad Attitude".

Released on June 23, 2006, "Bad Attitude" featured the new lineup, along with a fresh, new, aggressive style. With material ranging from punky rock anthems, to blues-metal sleaze, "Bad Attitude" allowed the members of Simply Slang to forge a new chapter in the band's existence.

Simply Slang maintains a cult following among hard rock and sleaze/glam metal fans in the United Kingdom, Australia, Scandinavia, Latin America, Spain, and Italy. Despite the band's achievements internationally, Simply Slang has yet to achieve notable success in the United States.
