IllScarlett (styled as illScarlett; /ˌɪlˈskɑːrlɪt/) is a Canadian rock and reggae band formed in 2001.[2] Their most prominent influence is California-based band Sublime.
The band found their break when they set up their equipment (using a generator) and played for concertgoers waiting in line to enter the 2004 Vans Warped Tour venue in Barrie, Ontario. Kevin Lyman, the Warped Tour organizer and co-owner of Warcon Enterprises, noticed them and invited them to play at his personal barbecue.[3] Subsequently, they were offered spots on the tour for the following two years.
IllScarlett had five major studio albums: ILLP, Clearly in Another Fine Mess, All Day With It, 1UP!, and most recently illScarlett. The album All Day With It reached gold status in Canada.

Before IllScarlett became a Canada-wide force, they were a Sublime-worshipping reggae-rock act.
