One of the most exciting bands of the era. Their powerful sound of #punk & #dub is unique. Also a powerful force within Britain's Rock Against Racism movement.

Been in a rut all week, so I'm being pretty on-the-nose in listening to this great, underrated band in the studio today. They definitely fit my mood... #TheRuts
