The Layabouts sprang from the heart of Detroit's radical/bohemian
community of the early '80's as a direct response to the
musical/political eruption of the British ska/punk scene. Since its
inception, many of Detroit's best known musicians have been part of the
band, creating a sound that blends rock, ska, reggae, Latin and African
rhythms. Known for their high-energy, get up on your feet and dance
music, the Layabouts have always sought to take inspiration from the
best in both radical music and radical politics
