I was able to get an incredible interview with Dave and Vic of The Slackers. They freely shared insights from their first exposure to reggae, to being mentored by Roland Alphonso, Tommy McCook, Lloyd Knibb and Lester Sterling of The Skatalites. They also talked about continuing on for over 15 years.
Vic - "The Slackers were lucky, because we never fit in, ever. And it's always been good for us."
Dave - "We had to find out own path, and that's what we encourage other bands to do. Instead of relying on the scene we just went out and played...In the long term, it payed off."
