Album

The Beat known in the United States and Canada as the English Beat and in Australia as the British Beat are a band founded in Birmingham, England, in 1978. Its music fuses Latin, ska, pop, soul, reggae and punk rock. The Beat, consisting of Dave Wakeling vocals, guitar, Ranking Roger vocals, Andy Cox guitar, David Steele bass, Everett Morton drums, and Saxa . Lionel Augustus Martin saxophone, released three studio albums in the early 1980s: I Just Can't Stop It 1980, Wha'ppen. Little surprise that the Beat or English Beat, depending on what country the band found itself in quickly achieved a cult status that has yet to die. A perfect blend of Madness' warm, winning spin on ska and the early Specials' tenser, darker sound, the septet created poprockska fusions that were instantly memorable and rewarded repeated listens. This compilation showcases many of the band's strongest points, including its two biggest American hits in the incipient alternative scene. The Beat, known in the United States as The English Beat and the British Beat in Australia and New Zealand in order to avoid confusion with Paul Collins' band of the same name, was a popular Two Tone ska and pop music group.
