NY's Slackers have captured the power of live performance in the studio. Recording the rhythm tracks while performing live in one of their favorite venues - Ernesto's in Sittard, Holland - The Slackers then overdubbed vocals, horns, and guest spots in the studio. Combining the clarity and balance of a studio record with the spirit and fever they've generated live onstage across the globe, "Peculiar" showcases a band at the height of their powers after nearly fifteen years of constant touring. With an amazing batch of new tracks, alongside the familiar social and political songs, The Slackers have made the album of their career; one that'll both satisfy and surprise their rabid fan base. For fans of Rancid and Flogging Molly, Gogol Bordello, The Skatalites, and The Clash.

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.
