The Selecter
Formed in Coventry in 1979 The Selecter spearheaded the 2-tone movement along with The Specials and Madness. Fronted by Pauline Black, they first hit the airwaves with 'On My Radio', followed by countless other hit singles. Mixing punk, ska and reggae, their debut album 'Too Much Pressure' successfully reflected the social and political issues of the early Thatcher years in Britain and gave a voice to disaffected youth across the racial divide. The band split at the height of their popularity in 1981 but have now reformed and touring again.

[spunge]
Ska-punk rockers Spunge are one of the UK's leading acts within a genre dominated by US bands such as Less Than Jake, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish. The band claim to have hit upon the sound by accident, having amalgamated their collective influences of Sublime, Stiff Little Fingers, The Clash and The Wildhearts. Lead singer Alex Copeland has joked that the brackets are in the name so that the letters do not fall out.
