about

Despite being an instrumental band, we sure have worked with a lot of vocalists over the years. Hence why it's surprising (even to us) that this album is our first to feature absolutely no vocals. So it only seemed appropriate to simply give this album the self title of 'The Drastics' as it represents the truest nature of the band - experimental, psychedelic, dubby, multi-dimensional ... A 17 track excursion intended to be enjoyed as an 'album' and not a collection of singles.

Probably the most diverse Slackers session I've been privy to yet. These guys always blow my doors off, plus I get some inside satisfaction from the Keep Him Away version. Absolutely loving every second. jiveturkeydlux
