The Slackers (Band)
Biography:
For over 30 years, the New York City-based and critically acclaimed Slackers have been touring the world with their blend of ska, reggae, soul and rock 'n roll. Since 1991, the Slackers have released fifteen albums and countless singles, while their 1000s of live performances feed their fans with energetic sets of ecstatic music.
The press state that the Slackers are "the best ska band in the world" (Rude International), "the pick of the US crop" (Metal Hammer), "the sound of New York" (New York Times), "is about as close to perfect as it gets" (Ink 19), and "one of the best bands in the United States" (axs.com).
In April 2022, The Slackers released a new album, "Don’t Let The Sunlight Fool Ya" (Pirates Press) which quickly shot to the top of the US billboard charts. This is the first time that a Slackers’ album has charted!
The chart topping performance of "Don’t Let The Sunlight Fool Ya" capped a two year comeback of the Slackers. When Covid stopped live shows in 2020, the Slackers pivoted to livestreams and made five full band concerts that were broadcast internationally. After the shows, they stayed in the studio and recorded the tunes that became "Sunlight".
