Idlers is a Canadian reggae band from St. John's founded in 2006 by Paul Schiralli-Earle, Tommy Duggan, and Mark Wilson and now consisting of eleven members.[1]
In March 2009, Idlers traveled to Dreamland Studio in West Hurley, New York, to record their second album, "Keep Out". Darryl Jenifer, Bad Brains bassist and Bedouin Soundclash producer, is producing the album. At the engineering helm will be Grammy-award winner Phil Burnett. The band has said that they intend to make their second album capture some of the dynamic of their live performances, but there have been mixed opinions about the success of this goal.[1][2]
Following the release of the album, the band toured across the country, making it to British Columbia for the first time after previous tours only made it to the prairie provinces.[2]
