The Specials

Best ska-revival band of the '80s in England. The comparison with Madness holds up to a certain point. Less monotonous, more cultured, deeper, and definitely closer to the Jamaican musical roots.

The Specials

The Specials formed in Coventry in 1977 and ignited the UK’s 2 Tone ska revival with a sharp blend of ska, punk urgency, and socially charged lyrics. Their 1979 debut, produced by Elvis Costello, set the tone; the adventurous More Specials followed. After classic singles like Too Much Too Young and Ghost Town, members split, with The Special AKA later scoring the 1984 hit Free Nelson Mandela. Reunions led to the 2019 album Encore.
