Fast 40 Jahre Bandgeschichte, 6.000 Live-Auftritte und 100 % Kickass - Die
Skaband THE TOASTERS ist eine Institution und wird vom legendären New Yorker
CBGB Club zu ihren besten 20 Bands gezählt. Gegründet wurde sie in der New
Yorker Lower East Side 1981 von Robert "Bucket" Hingley, der bis heute Kopf der Band
ist. Seitdem haben THE TOASTERS neun Studioalben und zahlreiche EPs und
Singles herausgebracht, viele davon auf dem eigenen Label „Moon Ska Records“.
Sie gelten als Begründer der Ska-Explosion der 90er in den USA und haben dabei
ihren eigenen Stil entwickelt. Damit beeinflussten sie viele weitere Bands der
Folgejahre.
“In my opinion, The Toasters are to ska in America in the 1980s and beyond what
The Specials were to ska in the U.K. in the late '70s and early '80s, and what the
Skatalites were to ska in Jamaica in the 1960s. The Toasters were innovators,
creators, shapers of the music, evolving it in a fresh direction, blending it with the
cultural influences in a very American manner, and I mean that in a completely
complimentary way. Just as Byron Lee & the Dragonaires brought professionalism
and polish to ska, allowing others to benefit from the fruits of their labor, so too
did the Toasters' music allow numerous other bands to share in the spotlight of
skill and success, many of whom have gone on to great heights. Upon the
shoulders of giants. Oh, yeah, and they kick ass!” - Heather Augustyn, Author of
