ASBURY PARK, NJ-
“… The English Beat turned the sandy, Jersey beach into a skank-fest / dance party, with the ska beats so infectious few could resist letting go. The English Beat date back to 1978 and are considered pioneers of the ska (two-tone) movement and are currently touring in support of their latest studio album Here We Go Love!
The English beat energized the crowd via front man Dave Wakeling distinct vocals and bands classic two-tone sound, incorporating punk, reggae, and soul elements which are the foundation of today’s ska-punk scene. Backed by several other band members Wakeling led the way with his trademark teardrop shaped guitar playing chords and riffs that truly identify the band, and its roots
Dominated by its classic songs, The English Beat had the crowd skankin to “Save It for Later” and the crowd favorite, “Tenderness”. The English beat has been on my “must see” list for quite a while and they certainly didn’t disappoint …”
