Slackers are NY's pride and joy. These guys fuse ska, rocksteady,
reggae, and other musical influences to make a sound that is their own and no
one else's. Their sets are always energy packed and last for more than 2
hours. That's 2 hours of dancin'; think you can handle that chump.
Their second studio album,"Redlight," is some of the best work they
have ever done; not to take anything away from their other albums, which are
masterpieces of their own.
The album kicks off with "Cooking For Tommy." A nice tribute to the
legendary Skatalites' Tenor-Sax player. "Watch This" is a song that appeared
on "Give 'Em The Boot" compilation, so I'm sure a lot of people are familiar
with the track. "Married Girl" is a song about falling in love with a married
women. "Soldier" talks about the Nazi-like, NY cops that plague our streets.
"Redlight" is about girls changing after they break up with you;a subject
most guys can relate to. "Rude and Reckless" is the best song on the album.
It's about father giving his son advice on how to be a man. Guest vocalist
Paul Parkins does an amazing job.
Pick up this album, as well as other albums of theirs;you won't be
disapointed!
