This is one of those perfect moment pictures capturing 3 bands just on the cusp of becoming big names. Love that all 3 bands squeezed onto a bus that would have taken kids to the swimming baths at school #punk #ska #skalegends #skamusic #TheSelecter #Madness #TheSpecials #rudeboy #rudegirl

Its a great song. The fact it charted and got played on the main BBC Radio station when it was poking fun at them for not playing this style of music makes it so much better

In 1979, Bob Marley delivered a message that went beyond reggae: “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.” He reminded people that freedom is not only about breaking physical chains, but also about challenging the beliefs, fears, and limitations that keep people from realizing their own power.

I still border on they're trying a bit hard in places. Preston became a bit of a joke in UK after doing Big Brother and storming off a comedy show and then going a bit rock star. It's a grower of an album for sure. Sorry you have issues with Rancid

So I gave The Family Business Ltd another chance. It's a fairly decent album, not sure it's setting the scene on fire the way some reviewers say. The bits Preston sings sounds like early Ordinary Boys, Antonee First Class is a great toaster. #ska #skapunk #rudeboys open.spotify.com/album/1loaJG...
