The Stubborn All-Stars are undeniably the original masters of American traditional roots ska. First assembled by King Django in 1994 to record the now-legendary "Old's Cool" EP for his Stubborn Records label, the group featured players carefully culled from the then-thriving NYC ska scene including members of Skinnerbox, The Slackers, The Insteps and Agent 99. The All-Stars released three albums and a greatest hits collection issued in the UK, offering up a diversity of the finest in US roots ska, rock-steady, reggae, dub, and early dancehall styles. Mainly a studio project, the band has toured the eastern half of the United States and much of Europe.
