Description
The Slackers sound is pure roots, but still innovative. While they have been influenced, and even personally taught by Jamaican originators, like the Skatalites and the Upsetters (original backing band for the Wailers), the band sees its music through an American lens. This band is equally appreciative of old blues, 60's 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.
