Apparently, they were very big in England, during the early to mid-nineteen eighties. Some of their songs are pretty good actually, quite 'catchy'. I have heard that they making a comeback...

Gotta give it up for Early Ska/Two Tone.

9 out of 10 easily.

They actually caused an Earthquake once. It was at the Madstock festival organised by the band themselevs, which was held at Finsbury Park I think. There were so many people bouncing up and down to their music at the event that local residents evacuated buildings and phoned the police reporting the seismic activity which apparently (?) measured 4.5 on the richter scale.

Top band. Proper ska music.

Suggs is a legend!

 

[ShiftyPowers]

The Specials were better though.

 

[Shindig]

Good point. Madness were more accessable to the mainstream but the Specials gave us 'Ghost Town'.

Too bad the initial incarnation broke up after something like 2 years
