Stubborn All-Stars is an American ska band from New York City, formed in the mid-1990s by King Django (Jeff Baker), a veteran of the NYC ska and reggae scene. The band blends traditional Jamaican ska, rocksteady, and reggae with a streetwise New York edge, making them a staple of the third-wave ska movement. Stubborn All-Stars was created as a supergroup, bringing together members from various influential ska and reggae bands, including The Slackers, The Toasters, and Skinnerbox. Their music is deeply rooted in the traditional sounds of 1960s Jamaican ska while incorporating the high-energy elements of modern ska. Their debut album, Open Season (1995), introduced their signature style, and their follow-up, Back With a New Batch (1997), further cemented their reputation. The band gained a strong following, particularly among fans who appreciated the authenticity of their traditional ska influences. They are highly regarded in the ska and reggae community for their musicianship and dedication to classic Jamaican sounds. King Django continues to be an influential figure in the scene, running Stubborn Records, which has been instrumental in promoting ska and reggae artists.
