Corria o ano de 1975 em Birmigham, Inglaterra, quando três jovens do bairro negro de Handsworth, descendentes de imigrantes jamaicanos, resolveram canalizar suas energias e frustrações para a música, formando uma banda que viria se tornar uma das mais queridas e respeitadas entre os regueiros do mundo todo, o Steel Pulse. O trio era formado pelo baixista Ronald McQueen e pelos guitarristas Basil Gabbidon e David Hinds, que descreveu a situação da época: "Havia seguidas confrontações da polícia com os jovens da comunidade.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
