No band has charted the history of American ska music quite as cleanly as The Toasters. Founded in New York in 1981, shortly after two-tone ska made its way to America from the U.K., the band helped pave the way for the third-wave ska boom of the ’90s, founding one of the most prolific American ska labels, Moon Ska, which released records by The Pietasters, The Slackers, Hepcat and countless other major ska acts of the era. After the ska bubble burst in the late ’90s that label went bankrupt, but The Toasters survived. Dozens of members have come and gone over the years, but the group is still led by founding member Robert “Bucket” Hingley.
