North Carolina’s Totally Slow have released their fourth LP ‘The Darkness Intercepts via Refresh Records. Totally Slow offers up razor sharp, no-frills punk music, with angry lyrics that show how the personal is inseparable from the political when the country is on the brink of chaos. Eddie Sanchez (Night!Night!, Solar Halos, The Love Language) has recently joined on bass, completing the current line-up which includes Andy Foster, Chuck Johnson, and Scott Hicks.

The band has combined the melodic anthems of 1980s SoCal bands like The Adolescents, Agent Orange and The Faction, with the skewed rawk of ‘90s San Diego bands Drive Like Jehu and Truman’s Water, and the righteous conviction of classic DC hardcore like Dag Nasty, Gray Matter and Fugazi. They are a band to have on your playlists if you are fans of groups like the aforementioned Dag Nasty, Hot Snakes, Pissed Jeans &War On Women.

Guitarist and vocalist Scott Hicks says “_We wanted to find a more dynamic balance for this record. The track order wasn’t taken lightly and there are lot of interesting samples and between-song transitions that I hope folks can find the time to receive fully as a whole piece.” ‘The Darkness Intercepts’ was recorded at The Sandwich Shoppe with Scotty Sandwich. Features collaborations with Noelle from Shehehe and Sam from Man or Astroman. Mastered by Mike Westbrook.

Having shared the stage with various acts, from Agent Orange to Laura Jane Grace to Man or Astroman, they bring a diverse musical experience to their audience, to Stream/Order The LP HERE.
