The Slackers
February 10, 2012
Add Review/Comment
The Slackers are a classic American band that is equal parts grit and grace. Their slow rise against the odds is a story in perseverance and a belief in their musical vision--what Vic likes to call, "Jamaican Rock N Roll." While they have been influenced, and even personally taught by, Jamaican ska/reggae originators like the Skatalites and the Upsetters (original backing band for the Wailers), the band sees its music as an extension of the traditions of the United States. This band is equally appreciative of old blues, country, '60s soul, rock, and R&B as it is of reggae, rocksteady, dub, and Ska. It is as if the Rolling Stones or the Yardbirds had grown up on Bob Marley as well as Muddy Waters.
