DESCRIPTION:
Audio is of the THE ENGLISH BEAT lead by Dave Wakeling and his all-star posse playing at the Corner hotel on May 15th 2014 accompanied with some photographs of the English Beat playing at Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas 2012.

Charging onto the scene as 'the hottest thing since the Pennsylvania meltdown' in 1979, Birmingham's Ska Kings sustained an equally explosive career, spearheading the British Ska movement alongside influential acts like The Specials, Madness and The Selecter. Their sound is a cosmic blend of ska, punk and reggae. Hypnotic, rhythmic and danceable while remaining politically aware and socially active.

Audio recorded by Captain Arresto. Photographs by Captain Arresto & Feather.

* This is a live recording so don't expect hi-fi quality. If you like the music support the band and go see a gig or buy an album.
