Slacktone is widely recognized as America's best surf instrumental band. Their sound is a hyper-kinetic mix of melody, speed and jaw dropping technical skill. Formed in Los Angeles in 1995 from a group of surf band veterans, they have since released four albums and toured Europe eight times. Slacktone's music is featured in TV shows like the WB's Summerland, MTV Real People, Fox Sports Network, Boardwild, and they were the house band for the MTV's "Rock N Jock Superbowl Party". They wrote and produced music for 5 Slim Jim extreme sports commercials, and also worked with Subaru for the release of their new sports vehicle, Baja. They have played at numerous outdoor sporting events including the US Open and OP Pro surfing events, NORBA mountain bike races, and several snowboarding events.Guitarist and songwriter Dave Wronski is a career studio musician and has been featured in Guitar Player magazine. Drummer Dusty Watson tours with Dick Dale, Agent Orange and The Supersuckers. Sam Bolle on bass also tours with Dick Dale and Agent Orange.
"Oh, man!!! Stellar material from very together players. The writing is really good, from straight ahead surf rants to amazing jazz excursion all reverbed out. Some tracks are entirely unique - unlike anything you've ever heard before. Dave Wronski's sense of riff is unique. His writing is immediately identifiable, yet always fresh. This is the mark of a great writer. Brilliant guitaristry supported by the trademark excellence of the best rhythm section in surf music." [Phil Dirt]
