- OR - Select an option belowThe English Beat -- or simply just the Beat to fans in the know -- were part of the two-tone ska revival movement in late-1970s England. They're best known for their catchy, skank-friendly tune "Ranking Full Stop" and for "Mirror in the Bathroom," a sax-driven meta-ska classic. Their sound is a mash of tropical reggae rhythms and stree-wise singalong lyrics that made them a little more accessible to pop music fans than their peers. They're a;sp one of the surviving bands out of a scene that garnered similar groups like the Specials, Madness and the Selector. As ever, when they make a stop in Dallas on November 3 for a visit to Trees, heckered ska-wear should be considered mandatory.
