North Carolina's Totally Slow posted a video for new track 'Dead Skater,' the latest single to be taken off the band's upcoming album 'Casual Drag' set to be released June 4 on Refresh Records.

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.”
