In the second episode of our series Under the Influence, we examine the late-70s ska revival in the UK, a movement built upon the fusion of punk rock and traditional ska. Led by the Specials, we look at how the cultural climate of the time period in the UK inspired the founding of 2 Tone Records and how that led to the ska movement in the 80s and 90s.
Under the Influence looks into some of the most important music scenes of our time, exploring the people, bands, and styles that changed the course of music forever. Narrated by modern day punk legend Tim Armstrong (Rancid, Operation Ivy, Transplants), Noisey delves deep into the worlds of New York Hardcore, British 2Tone Ska, and German Krautrock to find how these scenes were created, and how they continue to shape art, music, and culture today. Join us as we circle the globe to meet to everyone from x to y, to witness life under the influence.

Nemmeno due gocce di pioggia estiva, ma tanto basta per far tornare in me la "voglia di gotico". Il momento è propizio per riascoltare un mio MixTape di qualche tempo fà sulla dance e la new wave italiana degli anni ottanta.
La musica dance e new wave italiana degli anni 80... da balla futurista dei torinesi Italo Monitor a Zoom Africa dei Degada Saf. Elettronica e spassosi motivetti dell' Italo Disco.
