Slacker

This week's session balances gritty edge with melodic punch. Their songs hit fast and leave a mark, equal parts humor and heart. With deep lyricism and purpose, this band proves that punk is always best served unpolished. After the set, the band talks about their DIY process, musical influences, and the beauty of not taking yourself too seriously.
