Total Slacker seem to be the busiest band in lo-fi indie rock these days with release of a cover track, two 7″ singles and USA tour.

Total Slacker have been Culture Addicts faves since they released Thrashin’ and Secret VHS Collection. The single is pure lo-fi genius in the vein of Sonic Youth and Brain Slime is the standout track with a catchy, twangy guitar riff and sing-a-long friendly strangely harmonic vocal. I will definitely be trying to get my hands on this 7″.
The second is the Friend Crush 7” split with fellow Brooklyners Friends will be out in late June on Sixteen Tambourine Records. We will definitely be posting more about this release when the info comes in.
