THE ENGLISH BEAT

When The English Beat (known as The Beat in their native England) rushed onto the music scene in 1979, it was a time of massive social and political unrest and economic and musical upheaval. This set the stage for a period of unbridled musical creativity, and thanks in large part to the Punk movement and it's DIY approach to making music.

The band crossed over fluidly between soul, reggae, pop, and punk, and from these disparate pieces they created an irresistible dance rhythm. The English Beat tours worldwide with an amazing all-star ska backing band playing all the hits of The Beat, General Public, and more.
