Description

Ska isn't quite the force it was in the late '90s, when it dominated alternative airwaves with frustrating insistence, but the benefit of the ska bubble bursting is that it separated the two-stepping lifers from the pretenders. New York's The Slackers are clearly in for the long haul, about to enter their third decade turning out garage rock-tinged ska. While the band are respectful traditionalists, they have an impressive range, bringing in elements of jazz, rocksteady reggae and '60s soul, demonstrating that there is a sophistication and level of accomplishment that eludes many of their peers. - Paul M.
