The Slackers : new album + Euro tour

The Slackers sortiront leur prochain album intitulé The great rocksteady swindle le 20 varil 2010 via Hellcat et Epitaph. Ce douzième album sera composé de quinze chansons.

The Slackers return, bigger than ever before, to usher their next chapter with some of the best music of their storied career: The Great Rocksteady Swindle. Featuring classic cuts like “Cheated,” “How It Feels” and “Thank You,” the album retains the band’s unforgettable mix of ska, rocksteady, reggae, soul, jazz, dub and garage rock while also adding fresh and vibrant elements to the music on tracks like the roots-rocker “Sabina” and the gritty “Bo Evil.” For the past two decades the band has been spreading their signature “Jamaican rock n roll” sound around the world, winning fans over with their fervent live shows and coveted studio albums. Take notice: The Slackers are back!
