Steel Pulse signed their first record contract in 1978 with Island Records to produce their breakthrough album, 'Handsworth Revolution'. The same year, the British reggae band embarked on a tour with one of their biggest influences, Bob Marley, who often referred to them as the “young Wailers.”
Building on Bob Marley’s tradition of mixing Jamaica reggae with blues and soul from the African Diaspora and socially conscious lyrics, Steel Pulse remains one of reggae’s most prolific, respected and in-demand touring and recording acts.
Original members Hinds and Selwyn “Bumbo” Brown (keyboards, vocals, melodica) formed Steel Pulse in Birmingham, England in the late seventies. They are descendants of the Windrush generation—working class families who migrated to the UK from Jamaica in search of post World War II job opportunities.
Steel Pulse earned their first Grammy Award - as first non-Jamaican act to win the award for Best Reggae Album - for their 1986 album, 'Babylon the Bandit'. The band has received several Grammy nominations: including a 2019 recognition in the Best Reggae Album category for 'Mass Manipulation'.
As reggae revolutionaries, Steel Pulse is revered by the younger generation of artists and remains a powerhouse on stages around the globe. Through the example of 'Mass Manipulation', Steel Pulse demonstrates the endless possibilities that come from breaking down the walls of systemic greed, and nurturing the fellowship of mankind.
Steel Pulse’s current line up includes: David “Dread” Hinds, (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Selwyn “Bumbo“ Brown (lead vocals, keyboards, melodica), Amlak Tafari (bass), David Elecciri, Jr. (lead guitar), Wayne “C-Sharp” Clarke (drums), Kimberly Dawson (backing vocals), John Avery (sax) Wess Perry (sax) and Baruch Hinds (rap).
