{"product_id":"the-slackers-kill-you-preorder","title":"The Slackers- Kill You { VINYL LP }","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is rare that any band displays the combination of \r\ntalent and tenacity to continue connecting with \r\naudiences 3 decades into their career without \r\nbecoming a cabaret show, but New York City \r\nska\/reggae institution The Slackers continue to \r\npush boldly into the future with a fresh energy that \r\nbelies their 30+ years!\r\nThe band were on their creative rise during the \r\nmid-late 90s explosion in mainstream interest in \r\nska, but never lost a step when that bubble burst, \r\nemerging as a band that continually built up their \r\nfanbase the old-fashioned way: with relentless \r\ntouring across the world and consistent recordings \r\nthat always brought something new to the table. \r\nThe Slackers have pushed on long enough to be \r\nregarded as elder statesmen of a new era of \r\ninterest in ska, but as always, rather than rest on \r\ntheir considerable laurels, this band is achieving \r\nnew milestones on their own terms.\r\nOne such milestone was the LP Don't Let the \r\nSunlight Fool Ya lighting up several Billboard \r\nCharts, including hitting #1 on the Current Reggae \r\nAlbums chart. The album was the band's first full \r\nlength since joining the Pirates Press Records \r\nfamily, a fruitful creative relationship which has also \r\nyielded a slew of popular singles, as well as \r\nreissues of back catalog classics such as Redlight, \r\nWasted Days, Peculiar, and the fan-favorite live \r\nalbum Live at Ernesto's. \r\nThe latest release from these workhorses is the 12' \r\nsingle 'Kill You.' Recorded during the wildly \r\nproductive sessions for Don't Let the Sunlight Fool \r\nYa, this track is a mini-epic that clocks in at just over \r\n7 minutes! The B-side is a dub mix of 'Statehouse,' \r\nfrom the Sunlight LP. 'Statehouse' has a long \r\nhistory of it's own; it is an updated version of \r\n'Wrongful Suspicion,' which SLACKERS frontman \r\nVic Ruggiero co-wrote for punk rock legends \r\nRANCID's 1998 LP Life Won't Wait.\r\nBoth tracks feature the work of Victor Rice, an NYC \r\nska wonder currently residing in Brazil, whose \r\nmany accolades include two Latin Grammys, as \r\nwell as production, engineering, and bass playing \r\ncredits too numerous to list. Among these credits \r\ninclude frequent collaborations with The Slackers \r\nthroughout their career, including producing the \r\nband's debut full length, 1996's Better Late Than \r\nNever.\r\nAs always, The Slackers show no signs of slowing \r\ndown their non-stop touring, with dates \r\nthroughout the rest of 2023 and beyond. You can \r\nbet that with this time-tested philosophy of \r\nhonoring their legacy while pushing ever forward \r\nthat the band will continue to electrify longtime \r\nfans while gaining new ones in every city, and it \r\nwon't be long before fresh material like 'Kill You' \r\njoins the ranks of the band's fan-favorite live \r\nsongs!\r\nMARKETING POINTS:\r\n* One-time pressing of 1000 picture discs\r\n\r\nTRACK LIST:\r\nSIDE A\r\nKill You\r\nSIDE B\r\nStatehouse (Dub Version)\u003c\/p\u003e Shop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e 24\/7.\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUSIC VIDEO DIST.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43401164718170,"sku":"810096654007","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/6107\/2986\/files\/4234581-3025469.jpg?v=1779352320","url":"https:\/\/qbrxip-ki.myshopify.com\/products\/the-slackers-kill-you-preorder","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
