{"product_id":"kill-you-810096654007","title":"Kill You","description":"It is rare that any band displays the combination of  talent and tenacity to continue connecting with  audiences 3 decades into their career without  becoming a cabaret show, but New York City  ska\/reggae institution The Slackers continue to  push boldly into the future with a fresh energy that  belies their 30+ years! The band were on their creative rise during the  mid-late 90s explosion in mainstream interest in  ska, but never lost a step when that bubble burst,  emerging as a band that continually built up their  fanbase the old-fashioned way: with relentless  touring across the world and consistent recordings  that always brought something new to the table.  The Slackers have pushed on long enough to be  regarded as elder statesmen of a new era of  interest in ska, but as always, rather than rest on  their considerable laurels, this band is achieving  new milestones on their own terms. One such milestone was the LP Don't Let the  Sunlight Fool Ya lighting up several Billboard  Charts, including hitting #1 on the Current Reggae  Albums chart. The album was the band's first full  length since joining the Pirates Press Records  family, a fruitful creative relationship which has also  yielded a slew of popular singles, as well as  reissues of back catalog classics such as Redlight,  Wasted Days, Peculiar, and the fan-favorite live  album Live at Ernesto's.  The latest release from these workhorses is the 12'  single 'Kill You.' Recorded during the wildly  productive sessions for Don't Let the Sunlight Fool  Ya, this track is a mini-epic that clocks in at just over  7 minutes! The B-side is a dub mix of 'Statehouse,'  from the Sunlight LP. 'Statehouse' has a long  history of it's own; it is an updated version of  'Wrongful Suspicion,' which SLACKERS frontman  Vic Ruggiero co-wrote for punk rock legends  RANCID's 1998 LP Life Won't Wait. Both tracks feature the work of Victor Rice, an NYC  ska wonder currently residing in Brazil, whose  many accolades include two Latin Grammys, as  well as production, engineering, and bass playing  credits too numerous to list. Among these credits  include frequent collaborations with The Slackers  throughout their career, including producing the  band's debut full length, 1996's Better Late Than  Never. As always, The Slackers show no signs of slowing  down their non-stop touring, with dates  throughout the rest of 2023 and beyond. You can  bet that with this time-tested philosophy of  honoring their legacy while pushing ever forward  that the band will continue to electrify longtime  fans while gaining new ones in every city, and it  won't be long before fresh material like 'Kill You'  joins the ranks of the band's fan-favorite live  songs!
