Editorial Reviews: While NYC's The Slackers have been influenced and even personally taught by Jamaican ska/reggae originators like the Skatalites and the Upsetters, the band sees its music through an American lens. This group is equally appreciative of old blues, 60s soul, rock, and R&B as it is of reggae, rocksteady, dub, and ska. It s as if the Rolling Stones or the Yardbirds had grown up on Bob Marley as well as Muddy Waters. The Slackers are now set to release their 7th studio full length, Self Medication 12 brilliant songs that find the band continuing to transcend the confines of genre. From the eerie ring of the title track to the bluesy stomp of Don t You Want A Man, this album finds the band experimenting with new sounds, as well as delivering their signature reggae and ska riffs. Saxophonist Dave Hillyard commented ''Self Medication is designed to be listened to in a certain order. It s an old fashioned way of doing things, but it s meant to keep and sustain a certain atmosphere for the 50 odd minutes it runs.'' After a long run of successful albums on Tim Armstrong's Hellcat/Epitaph label, Self Medication marks the bands first LP on newly formed Indication Records, which is run by their old friends and ex-label mates The Pietasters. The Slackers will be self medicating throughout 2008 on the road, with dates booked in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, and UK to support the record.
