New York’s eclectic \"Jamaican Rock n Roll\" sextet The Slackers, featuring Ara Babajian on drums, will release their new album \'The Great Rocksteady Swindle\' on April 19 via Hellcat Records. The band’s first single, Anastasia, can be downloaded for free now on Hell-Cat.com.\"We’re trying to make music last, something that you want to listen to years from now. We’ve never really been part of a trend. We’ve always been on the edge of different trends. It’s one reason why we haven’t gotten hugely famous but also one of the reasons why we’ve stuck around so long.\"
