The Adjusters, a socially conscious Chicago ska/soul/funk band, formed out of a group of college acquaintances from the University of Chicago. The band consists of Jason Packer, Daraka Kenric, Larimore-Hall, Jessica Basta, Matt Parker, Rench, and several dozen friends and guests. The Adjusters' style fuses many genres, from ska to funk, reggae to soul, witha bit of jazz. The tempo of their music ranges from the upbeat anthem Armstrong, a street level narrative about a neighborhood hero, to the downbeat reflective Loose Roots and None but Heaven.

BAND 1; We could go and write a big paragraph trying to describe Shanty Town and what we are about. But when you get down to the nitty gritty of things Shanty Town are just four lads from Salford having a laugh doing what we enjoy doing! Which is playing our own music live and giving the audience a good night. If you like what we do, then nice one come with us, get on it and let the good times roll. If you don't then no problem you'll see the light soon enough .

One of New York's most notable ska bands, the Slackers formed in Brooklyn in 1991 and have played the world over many times since. Their first release was an eponymous self-released album, distributed by Moon Records in 1993 on cassette. Their first real debut is "Better Late Than Never" on moon ska records. Coming out in 1996, this album saw a movement to more traditional ska music, as opposed to their earlier two-tone and garage influences. It was produced by Victor Rice, a noted ska/reggae producer, who also played bass for them at one point.
