| The Slackers |
Ska
One of the most notable bands to emerge out of the New York City ska revival scene of the 1990s, the Slackers comprised vocalist Mark "Q" Lynn, vocalist/keyboardist Vic Ruggerio, guitarist T.J. Scanlon, bassist Marcus Geard, saxophonist David Hillyard, trumpeter Jeremy Mushlin, trombonist Glen Pine, and drummer Luis Zuluaga. After beginning their career in 1991 playing rock steady and ska in the 2-Tone vein, the group moved towards a more traditional style, even adding a horn section in 1994; they issued their debut LP Better Late Than Never in 1996, followed a year later by Redlight. The group resurfaced in 1998 with The Question; Live at Ernesto's appeared two years later; Wasted Days, which featured a cover of Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" surfaced in early 2001.
