Steel Pulse may have explored various styles of music since they started out in 1975, but when it comes to the message, UK's Grammy-winning reggae band has stayed close to its roots. Steel Pulse has continued its commitment to fighting injustice, educating the masses and promoting positive messages through spiritually uplifting music. David Hinds and Selwyn Brown seamlessly blend their message and the music, creating a danceable and upbeat experience audiences around the world have come to love.
The band emerged from Birmingham,
England, during a period when the burgeoning punk scene dominated and
reggae groups had a hard time booking gigs due to their “subversive”
Rastafarian politics. Luckily, the punk movement was opening up avenues
for music all over Britain and also finding a spiritual kinship with
protest reggae. As a result Steel Pulse wound up opening for “punk”
acts like The Clash, The Police, Generation X and XTC, gaining exposure
and reaching a diverse audience at the same time.

Together with the late Bob Marley, the Wailers have sold in excess of 250 million albums worldwide. Outside of their groundbreaking work with the late Marley, they've also performed with some of the biggest acts anywhere, including Sting, The Fugees, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, Peter Tosh and Burning Spear. The nucleus of the band formed in 1969 when Marley, Tosh and Bunny Wailer recruited Barrett brothers Aston "Family Man" and Carly. Inspired by Rastafari and their ambitions of reaching an international audience the lineup pioneer roots rock reggae. Countless remarkable albums followed, one of which, Catch a Fire, is perhaps the most significant reggae album to date.
