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 , Swing , 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 .

Several side projects have stemmed from the band including David Hillyard & The Rocksteady Seven , Da Whole Thing, and the SKAndalous All Stars , as well as an acoustic solo project by Vic Ruggiero .
