History
slacktraction is an alternative rock solo project created by singer and multi-instrumentalist Rooke Ridout. The first works of slacktraction were released in early 2023. Over time, slacktraction has released a steady flow of music. Rooke started taking bass guitar lessons when he was thirteen and eventually switched to guitar lessons later on, picking up some drum lessons even later. As he grew up, he listened to rap, alternative rock, nu metal, and folk.

Instrumentation
The drumming featured in slacktraction's music has changed a lot over time. Social Outcast featured basic, underwhelming drum loops. Then with the release of Dead End, Rooke Ridout utilized an electronic drum set and continued to do so for several works until eventually switching to an acoustic kit. Rooke has stayed loyal to the Fender Telecaster for many songs, occasionally using a Fender Stratocaster (and various other guitars). Rooke heavily utilizes bar chords.
