2 Tone (or Two Tone) is a music genre created in England in the late 1970s by fusing elements of ska, punk rock, rocksteady, reggae and pop music. The 2 Tone sound was developed by English musicians (mostly based in the West Midlands area) who grew up hearing 1960s Jamaican music and decided to play a similar style of music.[1] They combined that style with influences from contemporary punk and pop music. The new music genre (and associated subculture) became known as 2 Tone because most of the bands were signed to the record label 2 Tone Records at some point. Other record labels associated with the 2 Tone sound were Stiff Records and Go Feet Records. Bands considered part of the 2 Tone genre include The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat, Madness, Bad Manners and The Bodysnatchers. The music term 2 Tone was coined by Jerry Dammers of The Specials, who has said he came up with the idea because he liked the black-and-white check pattern on his scooter when he was a young mod.[citation needed]However, many people think the name refers to black-and-white outfits worn by rude boys and skinheads — and to unity between black people and whites. Dammers, with the assistance of Horace Panter, created the Walt Jabsco logo to represent the 2 Tone movement. It was based on an early album cover photo of Peter Tosh, and included an added black-and-white check pattern http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2...

terawattz, a new from of ska has arisen, its less raw and its singing sounds more alternative-music, but its not bad at all. some bands are streetlight manifesto, reel big fish, less than jake. the Pietasters are a 2tone revival band, and operation ivy and the mighty mighty bosstones are out there and very ska, just more punk

0.9 to 0.12 Shows the cover of too much too young, when I was a kid I always thought what a lucky bastard that lad who was stood right at the front of the crowd was, to get his face on a Specials single like that.
