Steel Pulse is a reggae band with its roots firmly planted in the red soil of Birmingham, England. Formed in 1975 by friends David Hinds (lead vocals, guitar), Basil Gabbidon (lead guitar, vocals), and Ronald McQueen (bass), the group emerged as one of the leading voices of the British reggae movement. Known for their passionate commitment to social justice and equal rights, their music speaks out against racism, inequality, and systemic oppression, embodying the revolutionary spirit of their 1978 debut album, "Handsworth Revolution."

Throughout the years, Steel Pulse has maintained their integrity and commitment to the reggae genre, even as they have embraced changes in membership and musical direction. With hits like "Steppin' Out" and "Your House," they've garnered a global following and secured their position as ambassadors of the Rastafarian message. Their work has earned them critical acclaim, including a Grammy Award in 1986 for Best Reggae Album with "Babylon The Bandit." The group's recent releases, including "Mass Manipulation" and "Stop You Coming And Come," showcase their continued relevance and ability to craft music that resonates with both the struggles and hopes of our times. The fervor and authenticity they bring to the stage, whether in historical venues or at contemporary festivals like Reggae On The Mountain in 2019, confirm Steel Pulse as enduring icons in the reggae world.
