Total Slacker are a Brooklyn-based band made up of members Tucker Rountree, Emily Jane and Ross Condon.\u00a0The New Yorker calls them “part of the Brooklyn contingent of a sub-genre … shitgaze.”<\/em> and The Village Voice calls “Front man Tucker Rountree manages to echo both Thurston Moore and Lou Reed with his half-sung, half-spoken lyrics about being young, broke, and in love.”<\/em> The Sonic Youth reference is definitely fitting if you think of a poppier version Goo-era Thurston Moore. The band released their debut album,\u00a0Thrashin<\/em>, on Sept 26th\u00a0in the UK and will now release the album in America in the new year (exact date tbc). I am definitely looking forward to hearing more from them.<\/p>\n
