about

"Skinnerbox NYC can't be said to belong to any particular scene. They are their own scene, and have been patiently nurturing it for over half a decade, through countless gigs in squalid dives, the revolving door of their rhythm section, passing music fads and sudden success stories among some of their less challenging, less compelling and less groovy Lower East Side peers. Not merely "just another ska band," their arsenal also encompasses reggae, funk, jazz, New Orleans, big-band swing, punk rock, blues, R&B, Latin, dancehall ... and others I forgot. But there is a psychotic kind of focus maintained throughout, even with the potentially volatile mix of old-school conservatism and resolute open-mindedness (and there have been some volatile moments on and offstage along the way). When all is said and done, these guys swing madly and lay down some bad-ass grooves, and stick to their charted path with righteous tenacity, and that's the approach which tends to produce music that lasts. Just imagine Fishbone produced by Coxsone Dodd at Studio One, and you're about halfway there. Almost."

-- Greg Casseus, 1996
