two-tone

The Selecter were a British ska revival band from Coventry, formed in the late 1970s as one of the essential bands of the British ska movement. Much of what set apart The Selecter from many of the other ska bands at the time was the voice of Pauline Black. She had to disguise herself as a man in order for the band to get gigs, but once they did, there was no disguising her voice. Like other ska bands of this movement, The Selecter featured a racially mixed line up, and songs about violence, politics, marijuana, a fictional spy's theme song, James Bond, and reggae classics.

Depuis l'an 0, naissance de l'Original Ska Band, Two Tone Club sillonne l'Europe et distille à travers des prestations live explosive, une musique d'inspiration jamaïcaine aux accents british. Enflammant la plage des eurockéennes en 2004, les 9 RudeBoys viennent de sortir un album haut en couleur "TURN OFF".

A nine-piece Ska outfit based in London. The Apocryphalites try to bring Ska back to its original form by blending their own tunes with 60s covers from the likes of Desmond Dekker, Prince Buster and the Skatalites together with Ska versions of everything from Gnarls Barkley to 70s TV.
