One of the U.K.'s most legendary reggae bands, Steel Pulse was formed in the tough Handsworth neighborhood of Birmingham in 1975 by a group of friends from struggling West Indian immigrant families. Chief among them was David Hinds, Steel Pulses lead singer, guitarist, and principal songwriter. Building on a base of roots reggae, they mixed Latin, jazz, and R&B influences in with the Rasta beats as well as impassioned messages of social justice and political protest. Steel Pulses stellar musicianship and ideological courage shine on the 1984 album EARTH CRISIS, available on vinyl from Rhino.
