Steel Pulse is a roots reggae musical band, formed in 1975 at Handsworth Wood Boys School, in Birmingham, England, composed of David Hinds (lead vocals, guitar), Basil Gabbidon (lead guitar, vocals), and Ronald McQueen (bass). Their debut release, Kibudu-Mansatta-Abuku arrived on the small independent label Dip, and linked the plight of urban black youth with the image of a greater African homeland. They soon followed it with Nyah Luv for Anchor.
Steel Pulse also received Grammy nominations for Victims (1991) and Rastafari Centennial(1992). In 1989, the group contributed I Can't Stand it to the soundtrack of Spike Lee's film Do The Right Thing. In 2004, Steel Pulse returned to their militant roots with African Holocaust – their eleventh studio album. With guest appearances by Damian Marley, Capleton, and Tiken Jah Fakoly.
In 2010, they released a single Hold On 4 Haiti – 100% of the proceeds go to Haiti – to solar electrify health clinics through the Solar Electric Light Fund and Partners In Health.
A local opening act will be announced soon.
