The Slackers are one of the more well-known bands emerging from the New York City ska scene, having been formed in Brooklyn in 1991. The band's sound is a mix of ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub, soul, garage rock, and jazz. The Slackers' notability is credited to their prolific career, tours of North America, Europe, and elsewhere, and signing to notable punk label Hellcat Records.
There are several side projects of The Slackers, including David
Hillyard & The Rocksteady Seven, Crazy Baldhead Sound System, Da
Whole Thing, the SKAndalous All Stars, as well as an acoustic solo
project by Vic Ruggiero. Vic Ruggiero, Jay Nugent, and David Hillyard
were also in the NYC Ska band Stubborn All-Stars lead by frontman King
Django. More about The Slackers...
