The Slackers's Blog

so the slackers are coming up on the 20th anniversary of the band's existence.

and there is talk as to whether we should release some sort of 'greatest hits' or 'fan favorites' or whatever you want to call it.

I was wondering if 'you', the collective appreciators of the slackers music...could tell me which 15 songs you would pick?

let me know.

Hey everyone,


well we are counting down the last few days to the release of the Great Rocksteady Swindle on 4/20/10

I get asked all the time, 'where can i get this album?'  Its funny that as things get easier and easier to get, it still can be complex when you actually want to find something specific. 

I guess it goes with being an Indie band but here are some places you can get the album;

The album is being released in the USA/Canada by Epitaph/Hellcat, in Europe by Epitaph Europe, and in Japan by Disk Union.

you can pre-order the album at www.interpunk.com; www.amazon.com (also www.amazon.co.uk and various national spinoffs), and at www.newburycomics.com

you can download the album at www.whatevski.org and www.itunes.com (also all the different national itunes in europe - germany, holland etc)

For japan you can go to www.skaintheworld.com or pick it up at any of the disk union stores around tokyo.

we are also happy to announce despite the changes in the music industry there are still a lot of great indie music stores in the USA that are selling our music.  Most of these will have the cd & vinyl available (or at least they can order it.)
