One of my fave bands from the 2 Tone days! Saw them back then and again at Coachella in 2013. Pauline Black can still belt it out with that amazing voice, energy, and stage presence. LOVE THEM!!!

70s & 80s punk era classics 
Great! Must be really fun to hear this in person and dance to it!
Hey, did you ever go see the English band Bad Manners live?

Yes, these are GREAT dance bands!!!! I saw both bands in the early 80s. Both kicked ass in the 80s! Then saw the Special Beat Service in Manhattan in the 90s. And saw the new version of The English Beat (all new musicians, singer Dave Wakeling is only member from original lineup): fun show, but light years from the intensity of those early days. Almost felt like simple nostalgia for us original fans, kind of just going through the motions…. probably won’t see them again.
