The Impalers

San Francisco's premiere rocksteady/reggae crew

About Me

The Impalers focus on playing skinhead/early reggae, rocksteady, dub, Stax/Josie soul, in that Studio One and Trojan style. Having already released two 45's on Axe Records, our new full length album "Blood, Rum & Reggae" is out now on Axe (USA), Scorcha (EUR), and Ska Around The World (JAPAN). With our first European tour under our belts we're now writing material for a couple new singles due out by the end of this year. We've been lucky to play great shows with great bands and look forward to seeing you at one of 'em. It's rhythm, fire, and time for The Impalers!!
