If like me you like African Head Charge then this is worth a listen, Barry Dread on bass here who also does a lot of his own stuff , nice bit of playing by drum and bass at 17.50

 

Nice. I've got tickets to see African Head Charge in May, looking forward to it.

I was checking out Steel Pulse on YouTube yesterday, never knew anything by them before but what I heard I liked.

Great discovery Lozz, they are a very good band and have a certain style I’d say, you probably have heard some of their earlier stuff, they had an album out in around 78 called Handsworth Revolution which was pretty big, the bass player then was Ronald McQueen who Was quite a technical player I’d say, it’s worth a listen if you haven’t already, I like this track

...called Handsworth Revolution...

 

One of the greatest reggae albums of all time, kind of set the benchmark for British reggae. I'd say Handsworth Revolution and Forces of Victory by Linton Kwesi Johnson are two of the very best...

I like that @Reggaebass, think I’ll get myself a copy of the album
