The Toasters

Celebrating 45 years of The Toasters punkreggaeska. Fishlock and ILM present The Toasters 45 years of Ska tour With support from Fidget & The Twitchers. **The Toasters** are one of the original American third-wave ska bands. Founded in New York way back in 1981 by Buck. We’ve released 9 studio albums, with labels such as Moon Ska Records, Megalith Records, Celluloid, Stomp Records, Caroline Distribution & Skaloid. Buck is the only constant member in the band. He moved over to the US to manage the Forbidden Planet comic book store, one year later he formed The Toasters. Our first show was opening for Bad Brains that same year, and later along in ’83 we released our first single *Beat Up*. Two more years along and we reach *Recriminations*, our debut EP, produced by Joe Jackson. This was the point Buck decided to create Moon Ska Records, this would be the label for Recriminations.
