Welcome to Ska Boom! Stories, which is the audio companion to my new book Ska Boom: An American Ska & Reggae Oral History now available for sale through DiWulf Publishing. Click here to order: http://www.diwulf.com/booksThe Boilers were one of the most innovative and influential ska bands to emerge from 1980's NYC Ska scene that you may have never heard of. Though they burned brightly for a short time, The Boilers were the starting point for a core group of musicians who have gone on to help define, create and perform some of the finest American reggae and ska and soul music. More than any of the other bands who came out of the NYC ska scene, The Boilers explored traditional reggae sounds as a vehicle for their songs about the tribulations of life and love in New York City.
