Description: Back by popular demand! Your favorite dance band from the 80's, The English Beat, returns! Best known for their hit songs: Mirror in the Bathroom, Save it for Later, and I Confess. The Beat's songs deal with themes of love, unity, or political protest, all over a dance beat that melds ska and pop with soul, reggae, and even some late-1970s punk influences.
Hailing from working-class Birmingham, England, Dave Wakeling and The English Beat rushed on to the music scene in 1979. It was a time of social, political and musical upheaval. Into this storm they came, trying to calm the waters with their simple message of love and unity set to a great dance Beat.
