Radio de The Pietasters

The Pietasters are an eight-piece ska/soul band hailing from Washington, D.C., with additional members from Maryland and Virginia. In 1990, a group of punks, mods, and skinheads, among which Stephen Jackson, Chris Watt, Ben Gauslin, and Tom Goodin, were attending college in central Virginia. They soon discovered they shared the same love for punk, ska, soul, and reggae music. They decided to form a punk rock cover band, The Slugs, whose initial forays were disappointing.
