Steel Pulse originalmente formado por David Hinds (voz, guitarra), Basil Gabbidon (guitara, voz) and Ronnie McQueen (bajo) en Handsworth Wood Boys School, Birmingham, UK.
Es Hinds quien, como letrista, ha estado siempre detrás de Steel Pulse, desde sus comienzos en la Birmingham club scene en adelante. Formados en 1975, su álbum debut, 'Kibudu, Mansetta And Abuku" se editó en la pequeña discográfica independiente Dip, y se unió a la situación de la "juventud negra" urbana con la imagen de una gran África como hogar.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

BmGEmA Booze is what he chooses, BmGEm, BmG Booze is what he choose; watch him how he topples over. EmA With A... with A, BmGEmA With a bottle in his hand; hang-over.
BmGEmA In and out of discotheques, in and out of wine bars. BmGEmA Burned out shell; looks a wreck; got to help him somehow, oh.
