illScarlett are a Canadian rock and reggae band from Clarkson, formed in 2001 and wearing their love for Sublime on their sleeves: skanking guitar upstrokes, punk energy, and sunburnt, laid-back hooks. Their big break was pure hustle. In 2004, they hauled their gear and a generator to the Vans Warped Tour stop in Barrie, Ontario, and played for the fans stuck in line outside. Tour boss Kevin Lyman spotted them, invited them to his own barbecue, and they wound up with spots on the tour for the next two years.
Clearly in Another Fine Mess arrived in 2006, with the lazy, loping "Nothing Special", the bouncing "One-A" and the sticky groove of "Heaters". All Day With It went gold in Canada, and 1UP! followed in 2009 with "Take It for Granted" and the scrappier "Milkshakes & Razorblades". Along with ILLP and a self-titled album, that makes five studio records, and the easygoing blend of beach-party reggae and punk never really went anywhere.
