‘Slackerpop’ re-release.
We are exceedingly excited to announce the re-release of ‘Slackerpop.’ The single will be released on the 31st October digitally and on flexi-disc which is pretty unheard of these days, but that’s how we do things over here at The XCERTS HQ! The single will be released in October, and If you have no idea what a flex-disc is, either ask your parents or follow this link – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexi_disc
This will be a limited edition release of only 500 so be sure to get yours quick. I must add, Flexi-discs can be played on a standard vinyl player. If you don’t have a vinyl player, it’ll make for a nice wall piece. The flexi-disc will also come with a code which will allow you to download a 5 track EP which includes ‘Gum’, ‘He Sinks.He Sleeps’, ‘Young (Belane) and ‘I See Things Differently’ in their ‘stripped down’ versions.
Our friends at Plastic Horse have made a mash up of the original video which you can see over at the Rocksound website here:
