Description
"One of the earliest and most important ska revivalist groups, Birmingham's the Beat formed in 1978. The multiracial band carved a distinct sound through the use of alternating lead vocals supported by a tight band."A London-based new wave group that managed to sustain a successful career in America for several years in the mid-'80s, the Fixx always flirted with the mainstream with their catchy, keyboard-driven pop.
"With idealistic spirit, a powerhouse live show, and bigger than big hair, the Alarm were part of an early-'80s wave of bands who dealt in soaring anthems inspired by the righteous idealism of punk."
