Slacker

About Me



There has to be a happy medium somewhere between the profane "lyrics" of death metal and the overly melodic comercialism of pop. There has to be music created for the sake of musicallity, music made simply because it feels good, not for money or because the artist hates the establishment, but made because the artist wishes to create music with a meaning. That is precisely what we strive for, to make real music really well. To be that happy medium that is melodic but posseses lyrics that aren’t afraid to state things as is. It’s honesty, something almost completley lost from society. And it is hope that you find that sincerity in every aspect of our music. We are Slacker: the real deal.
