Description
The Ska Revival Dance Craze: Essays from the Frontline by Garry Bushell In 1979, the music scene was in need of a shake-up. A new dance craze emerged from Coventry, led by the infectious mix of Ska rhythms and punk attitude. The Two-Tone revolution, spearheaded by bands like Madness, The Specials, and The Selecter, took the pop world by surprise with their unforgettable hits. Garry Bushell, who wrote the original Dance Craze magazine, was at the forefront of this movement. As a rock writer, he was one of the first to see the Specials live, interview Madness, and witness the bands' attempts to export their magic to the USA. This book brings together essays from Bushell's experiences on the frontline of the Ska revival. With its unique perspective and behind-the-scenes insights, this collection offers a fascinating look at the 2-tone era.
