LineUp

The Beat, a key band in the U.K. ska revival, emerged from Birmingham in 1978. Known in North America as the English Beat, they blended pop, ska, and political lyrics. With hits like "Tears of a Clown" and "Mirror in the Bathroom," they gained fame in Britain and a cult following in the U.S. They toured with The Specials and collaborated with icons like Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger. Despite disbanding in 1983, members formed successful acts like General Public and Fine Young Cannibals. They reunited for tours, creating two versions of the band led by Wakeling and Roger.
