#206, New Music Tuesday, Punk Band- Totally Slow

With a recent shoutout from none other than Laura Jane Grace (who played them on a recent live stream and tweeted out "Totally Slow Rips. Check Them Out", followed by not 1 but 12(!) fire emoji's), and a killer new record titled 'Casual Drag' on the horizon, things are looking up for Greensboro, NC's Totally Slow.

Scott Hicks (vocalist/guitarist) tells No Echo, "'Dead Skater' was a name I tossed onto a riff demo and then found myself writing lyrics around because I liked the way it hit," says Totally Slow guitarist/vocalist Scott Hicks. "Beating myself up for complaining when everything's ok, and wondering if I'll look back and keep hating myself about it when my time's up. We tip-toe around surf licks without fully leaning in. That's how I learned to play guitar—somewhere between my dad's Ventures LPs and then later drawing lines around that sound and the Agent Orange and Dead Kennedys cassettes getting passed around on the school bus.”
