Steel Pulse are a roots reggae band from the Erdington area of Birmingham, England. They originally formed at Handsworth Wood Boys School, and were composed of David Hinds (lead vocals, guitar), Basil Gabbidon (lead guitar, vocals), and Ronald McQueen (bass); along with Basil’s brother Colin briefly on drums and Mykaell Riley (vocals, percussion). Steel Pulse were the first non-Jamaican act to win the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.

The National Front formed in the 1960s, but about 100 years earlier, the Ku Klux Klan emerged in America on a similar platform. The Klan wore white robes and hoods, and committed heinous crimes against minorities in the name of “white power.” Many in England didn’t know the history of this group, which showed how the National Front could evolve. Steel Pulse brought this to light.

When Steel Pulse performed this song, some members would dress like Ku Klux Klan members to mock the organization. They did so without incident until 1980, when they came to America for the first time.

Within three weeks of us touring the United States, someone from out of the audience in Boston jumped up on stage and started to attack one of the band members,” David Hinds told Songfacts. “The cops pounded him to the ground and took him off stage and laid into him. It was at the Bradford Hotel in Boston. They had an auditorium area in that hotel, and we performed there.
