Slacking (real or perceived) is such an essential part of the average rock’n’roll musician’s personality it’s hard to believe that the term "Slacker Rock" was coined just in the 90s, after Pavement’s debut album "Slanted & Enchanted." Brooklyn band Doubting Thomas Cruise Control quite… undoubtedly looks back at that sound with fondness (we do too), re-appropriating and re-invigorating it for a new generation that at the time was too young to appreciate it, and for an older one that’s feeling nostalgic. The band is about to release a split EP with like minded NYC band Slushies, you’ll have a chance to see them live at Palisades on 10.31 during the venue’s Halloween bash.
