Redlight is an album by The Slackers, released on September 23, 1997 (see 1997 in music) on Hell-Cat Records. It solidified the Slacker's sound, with Ska, Reggae, and Dub music remaining prevalent. The track "Watch This" received notable amounts of airplay on college radio stations. The band's lineup was finally solidified (confused by the inclusivness of band photos in Better Late Than Never). Now the Slackers brought in Glen Pine from Boston on Trombone. Jeremy Mushlin also debuted his vocal talents for the first time on Redlight, although it wouldn't be until the Question that he would exhibit his dj style that he is known for.
