2 TONE Records - Behind The Scenes BBC Music (1980 VIDEO)

maggio 30, 2025

"These earnest young Midlands entrepreneurs are the epitome of free enterprise in Margaret Thatcher's brave new Britain" - Tony Wilkinson.

Tony Wilkinson reports on the phenomenal rise of a small independent record label in Coventry, 2 Tone. The label is at the heart of the second wave of ska music, promoting groups like The Selecter and The Specials, bands who blend Jamaican rocksteady, ska and reggae with British punk.

Wilkinson chats to Jerry Dammers - keyboard player in The Specials and 2 Tone founder - about the origin of both the label and the music, and singer Neville Staple about his vocal style and anti-violence stance.

aprile 09, 2025

The Specials, also known as The Special AKA, are an English 2 Tone and ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry. Their music combines a "danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude". Lyrically they present a "more focused and informed political and social stance" than most other ska groups.

The band wore mod-style "1960s period rude boy outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits and loafers)". In 1980, the song "Too Much Too Young", the lead track on their The Special AKA Live! EP, reached No. 1 in the UK. In 1981, the unemployment-themed single "Ghost Town" also hit No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart.

From SKA to REGGAE: the history of jamaican sound

febbraio 13, 2025

Ska, rocksteady, and reggae are three distinct yet closely connected musical genres that originated in Jamaica and evolved over the years in different cultural and geographical contexts. This musical history traces its roots back to the 1960s and continues to influence contemporary music.

The Origins of Ska (1950-1960)

Ska emerged in the late 1950s and early 1960s in Jamaica, influenced by genres such as American rhythm and blues, Jamaican mento, and jazz. Ska's distinctive sound is characterized by the syncopated guitar rhythm and striking brass sections.

Clement "Coxsone" Dodd

One of the pioneers of the genre is Prince Buster, along with Clement "Coxsone" Dodd and Duke Reid, two record producers who founded some of the most important Jamaican music labels, namely Studio One and Treasure Isle. Among the first prominent ska artists were The Skatalites, a band composed of extraordinary musicians such as Don Drummond, Roland Alphonso, and Tommy McCook, who helped define the ska sound.

The rise of ska is closely linked to the sound system phenomenon—music broadcasting systems used for street parties, through which DJs and producers like Sir Coxsone and King Edwards introduced new music to the public.

The Evolution into Rocksteady (1966-1968)

Around 1966, ska slowed down and transformed into rocksteady, a more relaxed genre that emphasizes the rhythm section and bassline. This change was partly due to Jamaica's hot climate and the need for a dance-friendly beat at street parties.

The Paragons on the beach

Bands defining this phase include The Paragons, The Melodians, The Techniques, and Alton Ellis, often regarded as the "godfather of rocksteady." During this period, Studio One and Treasure Isle continued to play a crucial role in music production.

An interesting anecdote concerns the song "The Tide Is High" by The Paragons, which was later made famous internationally by the band Blondie with their 1980 reinterpretation.

The Birth of Reggae (Late 1960s - 1970s)

By the late 1960s, rocksteady evolved into reggae, a genre that retained previous rhythmic foundations while introducing a more emphatic vocal style and lyrics often addressing social and political issues.

Bob Marley and The Wailers Rude Boys era

A key figure in this transition is Bob Marley, along with his band, The Wailers, which included Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. The label Island Records, founded by Chris Blackwell, played a crucial role in bringing reggae beyond Jamaica and making it a global phenomenon.

Alongside Marley, artists such as Toots and the Maytals, who coined the term "reggae" with their 1968 song "Do the Reggay," and Burning Spear, known for his Rastafarian-inspired lyrics, emerged.

The 1970s and International Expansion

During the 1970s, reggae diversified into subgenres such as roots reggae, characterized by spiritual and politically engaged lyrics. Bob Marley & The Wailers released iconic albums like Catch a Fire (1973) and Exodus (1977), bringing reggae to the world stage.

Other notable artists of this period include Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Black Uhuru, and The Abyssinians. The Rastafarian culture became a central element of reggae music, emphasizing themes of resistance, freedom, and spirituality.

Dub and Dancehall (1970-1980)

Parallel to traditional reggae, new experiments arose, such as dub, a style emphasizing bass and drums while adding sound effects and innovative remixes. The pioneers of dub include producers like King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry, and Scientist.

In the 1980s, reggae further evolved into dancehall, a faster and more aggressive genre with electronic influences. Artists such as Yellowman, Eek-A-Mouse, and Shabba Ranks dominated this scene.

The Ska Revival and Reggae Worldwide (1980-1990)

During the 1980s, ska experienced a second wave with 2 Tone Ska, a British movement that blended ska, punk, and new wave. Bands like The Specials, Madness, The Beat, and Bad Manners brought ska to European charts.

Meanwhile, reggae continued to influence global music with artists such as Ziggy Marley, Bob's son, and UB40, a British band that popularized reggae with hits like "Red Red Wine."

The 2000s and the Third Wave of Ska

From the 1990s into the early 2000s, ska experienced a third wave with bands like Sublime, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, who blended ska with punk rock, creating an energetic and aggressive sound.

At the same time, reggae continued evolving with artists such as Damian Marley, Sean Paul, and Shaggy, who brought the genre into the mainstream with dancehall and hip-hop influences.

Conclusion

Today, ska, rocksteady, and reggae continue to influence global music, demonstrating their versatility and lasting impact. Festivals such as Reggae Sumfest in Jamaica and the Ska Festival in Europe keep the tradition alive, while new artists reinterpret these genres in a modern key, ensuring their longevity for future generations.

Thrills meets The Selecter during a recording session for Three Minute Hero, where bassist Charley Anderson and vocalist Pauline Black chat to him about how their interpretation of ska differs from trad ska, and the politics powering the music.

Then it's on to 2 Tone HQ, to meet label founder Jerry Dammers and the rest of The Specials - Neville Staple, Terry Hall, Lynval Golding, Roddy Radiation, John Bradbury and Horace Panter - for a chat about their influences and the day-to-day running of the label.

Under The Influence: 2 Tone Ska - NOISEY VIDEO

gennaio 26, 2025

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.

Punks, Goths & Mods on Irish TV, 1983 - VIDEO

giugno 06, 2024

Expressing individuality through identifying with a group. Discussing the youth subcultures of Dublin.

Gay Byrne introduces representatives from various Dublin “gangs” to find out why they identify with specific groups and dress the way they do.

Punks, Mods, Rockers, Teds, Greasers, Futuristics, New Romantics, Blitz Kids, Skinheads, Rudie Skinheads, Boot Boys, Hells Angels, Bikers and Ska Boys.

The guest are 20 year old Crumlin punk Donnacha McDonagh, 19 year old Drimnagh punk Siobhán Corrigan, 20 year old fashion student John Fiddler from Killiney, and 20 year old mod Gerard Quinn from Fatima Mansions.

For Donnacha, Punk is;

"A rebellion against the old system, the system that we were born into and are supposed to live by but we don’t agree with today’s system so we rebel against it in our appearance, the way we dress and the way we think."

Donnacha describes on the misperceptions of punks by people who don’t understand them.

For Siobhán Corrigan, she dresses the way she does because she enjoys it and she likes to be different.

John Fiddler does not identify with any specific group.

"I wouldn’t put myself in any category at all. I’m just quite a normal person really."

Gerard Quinn describes his clean-cut image and the lifestyle of a mod.

Also on the panel is Dr Edward de Bono who does not see how these young people are that different to others as for the most part they still identify with a specific group. He says there is a dichotomy that exists between rebellion as a form of individuality or as a form of belonging to a group.

This episode of ‘The Late Late Show’ was broadcast on 29 January 1983. The presenter is Gay Byrne.
