FROM NYC SKA/REGGAE LEGENDS’ 2025 EP ‘MONEY IS KING’ ON PIRATES PRESS RECORDS.

New York, NY – February 18, 2026 – NYC ska/reggae legends The Slackers have released a brand new music video for the single ‘Hold On!’ The video was directed & edited by Kathryn Evangeline Adams & Arthur Leon Adams III, and it was produced by Rock And Roll Creative who also produced the video for previous single, “No One Likes the Truth.”. This song comes from the NYC ska/reggae legends’ latest EP, ‘Money Is King’. Band return with their biggest batch of all-new studio recordings since 2022’s Billboard charting hit album ‘Don’t Let The Sunlight Fool Ya’. The new five song EP presents stories about our times from a variety of perspectives. Hard times can be heartbreaking. Remember to check in with your friends, loved ones, and yourself. Band’ song & its beautifully evocative music video remind us what a difference the kindness of friends & music’s power to connect us can make as a beacon in the dark. Songwriter & singer Glen Pine says:

“Hey You. How are you doing? It has been a minute and I thought to check in. I have not seen you around much these days. In fact, no one has. Are you ok? I know things have been hard for quite some time. The past knocking at your door. I get it. It sucks, all of it. But you’ve got to know that we love you and things are not the same around here without you. I am gonna keep bugging you to meet up. Come join us soon. Even better, I am gonna stop by your apartment later. The knock you hear at the door is “The Present” and it comes with smiles, laughter, and all the fun. You got this my friend.”
