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 beatsas well as impassioned messages of social justice and political protest.
Steel Pulses first studio album for Elektra, 1982s TRUE DEMOCRACY was also their breakthrough to U.S. audiences it impacted both Billboards pop and R&B charts. As potent ideologically as musically, its one of their best, and on Rhino vinyl, it sound better than ever.
