SUMMARY:The English Beat
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe English Beat is a band with an energetic mix of musical styles and a sound like no other. The band’s unique sound has allowed it to endure for nearly four decades and appeal to fans\, young and old\, all over the world. \nWhen The English Beat rushed onto the music scene in 1979\, it was a time of massive social and political unrest. This also created economic and musical upheaval. This set the stage for a period of unbridled musical creativity. Thus\, artists like The Beat were able to speak out and speak their mind on the news of the day. \nThe Beat first came to prominence as founding members of the British Two Tone Ska movement. Also\, their classic first album Just Can’t Stop It fits squarely in that genre. Along with their contemporaries The Specials\, The Selecter\, and Madness\, the band became an overnight sensation. The Beat became one of the most popular and influential bands of that movement. \nHowever\, band leader Dave Wakeling never felt constrained by the movement. The band crossed over fluidly between soul\, reggae\, pop and punk\, and from these disparate pieces they created an infectious dance rhythm. The band’s sound continued to evolve over their three studio albums. Further evolution came through the General Public era (a band formed by Dave with The Beat’s toaster\, Ranking Roger). Finally\, it continues its evolution with 2018’s Here We Go Love\, the band’s first album since 1982’s Special Beat Service. \nConsummate showman that he is\, Dave Wakeling continues to keep The Beat alive and strong. They tour the world as The English Beat with an amazing all-star ska backing band. Further\, they play the hits of The Beat\, General Public\, and songs from the new album. \nYou just can’t stop The English Beat! \nRecommended for fans of The Specials\, Madness\, General Public and Elvis Costello.
