Better Late Than Never, the studio album that in many ways started it all for NYC ska / reggae legends The Slackers, is celebrating its milestone 30th Anniversary in 2026. To celebrate, the band is joining with Pirates Press Records to bring this classic album back in printto stay this time! Better Late Than Never, indeed! Of course, to say this record "started it all" is a bit of a simplification. The Slackers began playing live in 1991, and by 1996 had self-released a string of cassette tapes and built a solid local audience in the thriving 90s NYC ska scene. However, Better Late Than Never was undeniably a turning point for the band. Five years in, the band had written their strongest material to date, with the influence of traditional Jamaican ska more prominent than in their earlier work. Combined with the band's other diverse influences, it was truly the birth of The Slackers' signature sound, as fans worldwide recognize it today.
