The Specials

Artist - UK

The Specials are a British 2 Tone ska revival band, formed in 1977 in Coventry, England. The group has gained a global following not only for their music, but for the informed political and social stance that stands behind their lyrics. Described as having a "danceable ska and rocksteady beat, with punk's energy and attitude". Between 1979 and 1981 the ska revival outfit achieved Top 10 chart success, with singles including Too Much Too Young and Ghost Town. After a 27 year hiatus, the band reformed in 2008 with several festival appearances and a successful tour. The band shares a long-standing relationship with Fred Perry, creating two collaborative collections and co-hosting a series of after-show parties during their 2011 European Tour. In August 2012, The Specials released a brand new live album called More...Or Less The Specials Live on CD, featuring performances from their 2011 European tour.
