This is the first time that a Slackers album has charted! Ironically after 30 years as a band, this qualified them as a Billboard new artist. The Washington Post noted that the Slackers remain at the top of their game.The chart topping performance of Dont Let The Sunlight Fool Ya capped a 2 year comeback of the Slackers. When Covid stopped live shows in 2020, the Slackers pivoted to livestreams and made 5 full band concerts that were broadcast internationally. After the shows, they stayed in the studio and recorded the tunes that became Sunlight.Returning to live gigging in the 2nd half of 2021, the band celebrated their 30th anniversary with 30 shows across the United States and Canada.
