REVIEWS FOR TERRESTRIAL

"Feeling like the rock that mountain men would make in a one-room cabin 80 miles deep into the wilderness. The music is honest and uplifting and begging at the door for you to listen."
Pete Soyer / Modern Fix

“Slacks make classic rock now. Terrestrial is as beautiful and well played a guitar rock record as any Cream album.”
Thomas D. Williams / DigitalMetal.com

“I FUCKING LOVE your new Slacks disc. Absolutely great stuff…”
Jadd / MeteorCity Records | Spiritu

“If there is one problem with this album, it’s that it is too short. Only seven songs seems like a tease. But those seven songs are wicked good, especially if you are a fan of bands like Uncle Tupelo, Flying Burrito Brothers, and Drag The River.”
Gary Schwind / RocknWorld.com

“There’s not much else to say about Slacks’ Terrestrial except to reiterate that it’s beautiful music. Really honest stuff, incredibly uplifting, and well worth checking out. Highly recommended.”
John Pegoraro / StonerRock.com

“This whimsical group has upended me with their sheer talent, and their music is both oddly alluring and gratifying on a variety of levels…I can’t recommend these rustic fellows enough.”
Jason Jordan / UltimateMetal.com

“This seven-song treat contains only two songs with vocals and the rest be instrumentals that strike a rocking, frolicking flair.”
David Atkinson /
Alt.Culture.Guide CD Playlist

“This band is fucking criminally underrated, and I really think there are a lot of people out there, just like me, who would totally love this shit if it crossed their path. They’re doing something far different…and they’re doing so brilliantly. This one comes very much recommended.”

“When I first heard the debut album from Slacks a few years back, I knew this band was something special. Overall, this new album seems a bit more crafted and cohesive.”

REVIEWS FOR SLACKS!:

“This 3 piece band manages to create some unique sounds of their own…From dirty southern rock to pop and back with the blink of an eye, all on the same track.”
RootsMusicReport.com

“Slacks! is more of a full immersion album than a collection of songs…if you get thrown into rehab, bring a copy, it’ll make the time go faster.”
SleazeGrinder.com

“Great record. I haven’t heard this kind of diversity in underground music for quite a while. This is bluegrass, rock, acoustic, jazz, atmosphere, and college-y all in one CD. I must admit, I especially like the banjo shit and the sweet vocals of Maria Christopher [of 27 fame]. There is something for everyone here.”
Vic Szalaj,
of the New England heavy rock band Cable

“The second track, “No Goodbyes,” instantly proves the power of this record. A fucking masterpiece of slow and flowing melodies with a dark, yet memorable, atmosphere and impeccable softly sung female vocals. Very different and, dare I say, quite original. I fully recommend this to anyone who enjoys good music and is in the market for something out of the ordinary.”
Aversionline.com

“Have you ever wondered what Trans Am would sound like if they were a country-rock band? If you like your math-rock a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll, then kick back and slack with these Slacks.”
Joseph Kyle / MundaneSounds.com

“Shitkicker is pretty good.”
BuffaloRoots.com

“The guitars sound great and there is even a saxophone. The acoustic guitars on this CD remind me of something I might hear on Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here.”
DJ Bushmado / Bushmado.com

“…Packed with top-notch songwriting. Thirteen solid tracks, and from what I gather, all recorded in a home studio. Worth picking up.”
Origivation.com

“Slacks! has garnered more spins in my home and car CD player this year than any other disc in recent memory…I have a huge place in my heart for banjo, slide and acoustic guitar and hearty songwriting. Slacks deliver all of the former with a modern day ambient twist and timeless rock and roll for something completely, unabashedly original.”
HellrideMusic.com

“This is a well written, classy record. I am digging the shit out of it…it suppresses the homicidal urges to an almost manageable level.”
Bryan Cox, of the Virginia based heavy rock band Alabama Thunderpussy

“Slacks play a style all their own…the songwriting is exemplary in just about every way imagineable.”
